I and many like me I guess, rush to comment and upvote the famous steem bloggers like you @jerrybanfield to get a better curation ! But this rush gives us no chance to really read the whole article or watch the whole video ( especially if it is LONG) .. the result is a choice to rush and write a stupid meaningless comment ( like thanks for the post / keep up, and the sh* comments) so we can earn some curation, or to wholy read and wholy watch the long video, then give a meaningful comment if We have any ( with very less curation than the dum ones on top :)
So my question and suggestion for the witnesses and for people who can decide about steem Blockchain is :
Can we make the votes or comments not allowedly start until after 30 minutes at least from the blog post. This will
1- give people chance to really read before they rush to comment.
2- reduce the zombie and meaningless comments
3- increase the quality of the entire steemit system ( referring to medium platform for example)
I wish to hear back from @jerryBanfield ( though I doubt it) , and from anyone who finds any meaning in my suggestion
Cheers 🥂
One thing for sure is that we get to witness how the current rules play out :) when I comment a meaningless post, I receive rewards because other people also voted up my post. Right?
It is right, but not the best way in my humble opinion .
@josteem thank you very much for your interesting suggestion.
I see that you have not voted for any witnesses at https://steemit.com/~witnesses yet. Witness votes are the most important we make on Steem because witnesses create our blockchain in real time and are our chosen community leaders. The easiest way to fully participate is to choose one person we trust as a "proxy" to make all of our witness votes for us. Would you please set me as your proxy at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because this will empower you to indefinitely support me for witness and increase the funding for @budgets?
I like you of course, and doff the hat for your exerted efforts, but honestly speaking, I need some time to read more about the voting process for example when I choose a witness or proxy ( how long this will be valid?) is it 1, 2,5 years, or is a lifetime ? Can I after a certain period of time remove my vote for that person I mistakenly voted for? We don’t want to repeat the mistakes we do in the political elections ( when we choose someone we think s/he is good and will help our voices to be heard, then s/he turns away not giving a sh*t to the huge masses who had offered him support earlier. I am not hinting by any means at you @jerryBanfield . I am just coming from a background where the majority of politicians are wolves in the skin of lambs. Maybe ithe issue is different to the Blockchain! So I would like to be enlighted more ( not about the candidates I love like you) , but about the governing rules for adjusting our votes for witness or proxy over a period of time.
Respect ✊
