Just run this thought experiment: imagine a hive yelp with ratings etc (steem already may have done that actually) how do you keep it fair and not ending up with just showing 5 stars for everything the top hive whales like and 1 star for everything the top hive whales hate, regardless of the "real" reviews.. how do you even define which review is more Real than another? Were back to square one with dan larimer and ned scott and steem vs eos and voice and all that which never came to fruition which leads me to believe this IS a challenge worth attempting... to create a more perfect more fair ACCOUNT SYSTEM for social media... beyond just up and down votes.. because accounts can be faked... and thats why they made steemit right?
(i guess ateem DID try to create a yelp, steemhunt, and the site is still up but showing 0 rewards 0 new users. Very sad. And i havent heard of any hive based review site? Man back during steemit we hqd atcually syvvesful daops that woule become populqr past the crypro community to the nirnak tech world where people would end up using steem based dapps for something else busi ess or game related and end up joining steem. Or there were so many daops helping people signuo for some specific aide of steem like a travel vlog site where you get crypro for posting travel. Many people would just steem just for a specific niche and the dmart ones would just end uo using the regulqr front end. There are still a lot of whales out there rrady to give uovotes but honestly no one is gonna give upvotes in the future when you can delegate and leade iut for liquid hive.
we want nothing more than a Fair verwion of reddit whatever that ends up looking like. @ned and @dan clearly both stated/agreed in a youtube interview from 2016 that they simply tried to make a "blockchain reddit" ... and of course adding "blockchain" doesnt solve all yoir problems... thats why we neee to keep fleshing this stuff out and make i dunno hackathons to try and like... pretend ypu have 100 clones of dan larimer and do all the ideas that were thrown around when steemit first came out.
Lets explore wvery possible steemit alterbative or fork or steem with different reward curves and rules etc...thats kinda what golos and blurt and hive are but we need a way to make good on the promise that communities would hqve smts that each had their own different rules for token distribution so eventually we coukd find the peefect one...the bitcoin supply sweet spot goldilocks zone but for social media token fistribution WHICH would also end up creating like the peefect form of socialism in a way hahaha if you looked at it in that simple of a mind set. Altho a national government adooting a steem or hive blockchain WOULD create decades of prosperity, it woule eventually create a lot of really crazy problems we saw on early steemit that would just be made mych worse.
How do we explore all the paths for steem that we never took?
