RE: Steemit: A Social Platform Or A Bot Gaming System?

bowing to way above me at 3rd place @glenalbrethsen

  • OK now I can reply...
    • Trending page
      Do people still look at that???
      I check it about once a day to see if there is any real steemit news.
Sort:  

I'm afraid the new folks do, and since there's an ongoing supply of them on a minute by minute basis, and as far as I know, no immediate redirection to anything else, that's where they end up, because that's where people go to look for things everywhere else.

Then, when they get there and see what's there, if they don't immediately equate it to trash, they think that's what passes for good content around here. So, the cycle continues to perpetuate until someone can get a hold of them that's not just inclined to flag them into oblivion because they didn't bother to read the Steemit FAQ or etiquette pages.

I know there are greeter guilds and such working to orient people, so I'm certainly not knocking them. I don't know enough to know what they're doing, but I'm sure they've got more than enough to handle, especially if they're trying to doing anything else on their own accounts.

True. True indeed.

  • I did when I started. I had no clue what I was doing. I would also upvote anything that had a huge payout, thinking, man if I get a cut of that... woohoo... SMH ::rolling eyes::
    • Then I started searching for guides and such and those were a great help!
      • I think maybe it was @earthnation's guide that explained the most to me...
  • In a time, long, long, long ago... (I'm on day 60) haha

BTW you do realize you get a bonus for for spelling out the emojis right?
::rolling eyes:: = 2 words
not sure if they even count 🙄 as a word
wait wait unread that part... you already have beat me 5 times better! haha

Actually, spelling them out might count, because Asher isn't counting words, he's counting characters, which could include (this I'm not sure of) spaces, returns, emojis (or their alphanumerics), punctuation and formatting styles, like bullets.

Don't quote me on that. It really depends on how that all gets filtered, but a character is a different animal than a word.

Aha! yes, I see that now...

haha... yes he is above me too! And I see he is picking up steam too :)
