First ramble on newsteem

avatar

It felt like an eternity till I canceled my delegations and was waiting for my SP coming out of limbo and back into my wallet.


Finally I am able to really capitalize on my free downvotes, curate random shitposts and of course circle jerk and upvote myself.


But seriously I am looking forward to the changes as I believe they are good for the overall ecosystem and also make it a bit less pressing to come up with a post per day as curating gets more lucrative.


If the fear of flagwars and random downvotes become a reality is still up in the air but to battle a bit of the bot abuse is a win in my book.


Maybe humanity is not good enough for a system like Steem?


I am still activly curating in the SPORTS tribe despite but it is getting harder to find good content with a lot of in my eyes shitposts but that is not a new problem. There are some people who put in a good amount of work in their posts and I am happy to be able to support them in a meaningful way.

The @sportscurator has been a great help finding posts I would usually miss.


For the future I am not sure yet how I will go on. If I will be writting my daily shitposts again or if I will be more of a curator or even delegate my SP to some project again as having a break and not worry about voting power and so on is quite nice as well.

Oh damn, I also wanted to buy some more Steem hmmm then I have to look for other ways
I don't know if it works in your country but bitva worked well last time. I bought Steem directly with €. Took a bit more time for the first transactions but worked.

😁

SP back in the bank means downvote potential. The bot posts have been trashed and I’m wondering what the next wave will entail.

Truly. I'm a bit hesitant with the new Hardfork but later on I realized this must be done for the better. I'd like to address some of my thoughts on the issues,

  • The issue regarding lesser values on posts less than 20 Steem because of the new curation curve will help better content standout. This means for me that great/valuable content receives the significant rewards thus writing with effort & quality is now more encouraged. Though whales circle jerking benefits this, I believe the 50/50 split and free downvotes will help with that aspect.

  • The free downvotes will be messy at first but as time pass by, I think this will be very helpful in fighting abuse and spams in the blockchain.

For me, this HF is better thinking long-term. I am starting to realize that this thing "might" work for a better Steem blockchain.
