Your suggestion actually goes deeper than just QA. I was thinking the other day that one of the problems of Steemit is the fact that it only presents one view of the content, a stream of general stuff.

Mmm...they're also calling Autonomous Vehicles at more than 10 years to adoption, and I'm thinking that this is way too long. At the rate we're moving now, it will be five max before we see regular

Um...I don't want to be a killjoy or anything, but there are [quite a few myths] ( surrounding the benefits of Thorium apparently. Now I'm not a nuclear scientist (INNS), but it seems to me that this is

Please accept this tiny upvote as a small token of my appreciation. :)

Isn't it interesting that once the initial 'mania' has worn off, what settles in is just a desire to contribute to the community properly? Which then incidentally provides a reward. It's a perfect example

It is indeed very cool. But may I please plead for a Firefox option? I know it's only a small, unpopular browser, but I think it still deserves a little love from time to time.

I'm tending to thing you may be right. I don't understand enough of the game dynamics behind bots and whales to make an intelligent guess, but at the moment I would rather trust a founder's perception

Oh now it's my turn to apologise if you were trying to be funny. I pride myself on normally spotting that, but this time clearly I failed. Anyway, thanks for the thought provoking post anyway. :)

I would personally like to see something which used the power of the blockchain to encourage more real and direct action on climate issues. Whether this could be a part of the marketplace or not, it could

Yes, great comment @xanoxt. Sustainable living using the kind of ideas behind Open Source Ecology and the [Open Building Institute] ( are one of the ways we may pull ourselves out of the climate mess when

I'm sorry but the real problem with a post like this is it's pandering to one of the main crimes of the mainstream media. It's called Outrage Marketing. The idea is you try and whip up a frenzy of emotion

I think the root problem is we need to have some way of forcing (enouraging?) technologists to subordinate the tech to a higher good. And I'm not convinced that's in their DNA. For them, the 'idea' is

We need a change in human consciousness!!! YES! Exactly!

Thanks. Hmm... maybe I will see if I can pull something together. The problem I see here is the conventional 'logical' brain ruling over the 'heart' of a subject. We are in an epoch where logic triumphs,

Good question. I was wondering the same myself.

But I think you're missing the point. He's saying that whales are only interested in content that will go viral, and therefore be more financially rewarding if they play their curation right. It has almost

You hit the nail on the head. It lacks soul. It's what happens when technologists put their logical brain to work creating something. They forget emotional intelligence and simply hunt for 'efficiency'.

That's a really interesting idea. A kind of 'Recommended' stream, rather like recommened music or recommended posts on a blog? The good thing about bots is they can scan LOTS of stuff really quickly, and

I would beg to disagree. People don't log into to Facebook to enjoy an artificial network. They log in to share stuff with their friends and family, and see kittens. Facebook may manipulate the algorithm

Excellent comment. This idea of algorithmic content creating is a potentially huge problem, surely. It's possibly analagous to the high frequency trading on the exchanges, which has fundamentally altered
