RE: Freewrite: What Constitutes Effort on STEEM?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Are there really lots of people complaining about not receiving enough reward?I have not encountered that yet.

Or are they complaining about the over abundance of flags?I have encountered a lot of that lol

Stunning 1st photo btw, breathtaking.

Effort and Value are very subjective terms. What may be a huge effort for me may be nothing at all for you. What may hold significant value to me may be completely meaningless to you.

The value Steemit holds for me, is in the conversations and connections. I am sure others will derive value from other aspects. I feel a bit confused by your post.

Many times the discussion surrounds a low effort post that's been over-rewarded and downvoted.

Thanks! They are subjective, which is a vote can be made from -100 to 100%, so an individual evaluation can be made. This is how the system was designed.

Wow thanks for the ENGAGE tokens : ) and the reply. So much to learn lol

I notice that some get a free pass with low effort posts. One turned up in my feed that had been resteemed the other day. It was just a one or two sentence question. I liked the question so I replied. I also looked at their other posts, all the same very low effort, but nobody gives a shit and he get a massive amount of engagement. I don't understand why people have a problem with some low effort posts and not others. I dont believe its just about the amount of rewards. More likely the ability to defend against attack.
Having said that i was having a look at mac-bot ? something like that, and I found an over abundance of accounts making up to 14 posts per day of what looked liked copy past with the same (probably alt accounts) voting. Well yea that needs to be sorted, but then he is also attacking that account tts which i think is a cool thing to use and would love to be able to call it the way you called the engage, especially with long posts.
Trying to dictate the quality of posts ! not such a good idea imho especial when it is not dealt with in an even handed way.

I guess reaching consensus on what needs to be flagged and what should not be flagged is difficult in a decentralized environment.

For sure, the focus tends to shift on what to go after, because there is only a limited amount of downvote power on an individual level, but there is also a limited number of people willing to use their downvotes at all. It can be a game of whack-a-mole.

If you see stuff that is particularly egregious, you can share it in the @steemflagrewards discord.

I singed up with Steem Engine and to my surprise i found I already had some Engage Tokens and six other tokens and I have no clue how or why i got them lol
No complaints just laughing at my own ignorance
