Now that I used chainBB I am getting a better idea of how apps built on the steem blockchain work and how the content from there gets posted on the feed here. Hopefully we will start to see more and more filtration soon as the feed is going to get jam packed with content. I suggested for chainBB, if steemit approves, that the posts get a symbol, like a chain so you can tell where it was from but that will only be a start. We will need tabs and maybe ways, at the choice of the user, to have some posts show higher than others. If this can be done, then all the chainbb posts can go to a tab as well as their site. So what happens if we do the same thing with a dating app that posts your profile on the feed?
Here is how it would work. You get an app where people post their profiles. They would make them like they do a post and that would get posted to the dating app and the steemit feed. This means that anyone could view them and even comment on them. We would need a tab so people can go through them on steemit differently than the other posts. And the app would need a search feature that helps you find profiles based on distance or hobbies or some criteria. This criteria would have to get linked to the posts itself so it would probably be on the steemit profile post as well. Messaging would have to be done off the blockchain, people should have a degree of privacy for their messaging. And as you get upvotes on your profile dating post, you would get paid. In order for this to work, the dating post would have to have a renewing 7 day payout, either with an algorithm change or a bot that reposts the post every 7 days. This would lead to a dating app where people can get paid to use it.
The benefits are people would probably be more honest and nicer on their dates, as people can comment on their post and upvote them. The downside is it would be less private, your dating post would be on the feed and everyone can see it and comment. And eventually, as this site goes big, people will make some inappropriate comments.
The question is, if you are single, would you use it?
