well, 24th it launches, or it launches the sale of tokens, as commercial as steemit i'm sure, all under the salespitch of share the wealth ... still
read what its about yourself , if you're too lazy then don't
if you're into things that used to be in Edge magazine when i was working night shifts 20 years ago then you probably already know it
if you don't and you think you're a "content creator" then maybe you should
after that it's waiting for K.im , hoping the big K makes a dent in "the industry" with the new platform, eliminating third-party parasites and giving control to the creators, from advertising to pricing ... it's a wait and see ofcourse, while this is not ...
and
After less than two weeks on Steemit, the salespitch is clear : this is crypto capitalism ... it took (for me, since i don't do always friendly and kiss ass, scared of conflict) about a day to get my reputation halved because TWO out of what ?
400.000 people downvoted about ten times from 25 to 10 ... just like that, two people
so by next week i suppose this is no longer worth the time, and making posts myself here is a waste of breath and fingertip skin
"discouraged ?" , i hear the marketeer in the back say , a man slightly bald, that same uniform shirt and tie that shows he's still aiming for floor manager position ...
not really, dis-interested ... its a perfect copy of the standard model, i came to use the example : if Trump and a wallstreet CEO says "you'll never get a job in town again" ... or a college campus where you have to roll over when Jock Strap and The prom queen tell you to bark "or else"
as far from "anarchy" as ever was possible, as close to the existing model as is ... need votes ? BUY THEM ... want someone down ? PAY FOR IT ? need more voting power ? BUY IT ...
leads to a whole lot of people being very apologetic, VERY cautious and not really saying what they want ,
i can't get with that ... also a fertile feeding ground for everything from your classic nigerian "just send me $100 to cover the cost and the heritage is yours"-type scams to the other classic copyright troll "PAY NOW or else & blacklist"-scams ... you only need one in a thousand if you got a bot to run that 24/7 for you
nice salespitch, alas ...
but i bet a lot of people will not agree since doing so would be negative and you can't be negative here, it might cost you a vote
SO ... i have done my five votes for the day, my five re-steems of said votes, i followed everyone back who followed me but at a log10-system for reputation this is more of a trap than an opportunity and certainly not worth the effort anymore already if all that has to happen is just one troll waiting to cast one vote after i got 200 upvotes
you see ? ya hurr, precious ? it's not as shiney as it sounds, nonetheless, there's some great people here but i keep it edgy
so i'm sure there will be spinoffs
and i'm sure i'll be on Flixxo ... i'll just check here since a few votes and resteems only takes some minutes why not, to support decent folk who dont tell people what to do and how to walk, WHY NOT
but to actually waste time on it if that is all it takes ?
i dont think so, bro :)
keep an eye on it : Flixxo
keep an eye on it : K.im
HO ! bro ! but you play time clickers til the last achievement without cheating ? Yes, but the game doesn't promise me money, anarchy and zero censorship . The very essence of that game IS to waste time ...
when censorship is replaced with "this post is hidden" i already get like ... queasy
.. bro ...
very well then
small tryout worth trying maybe ... all these nice thingies-for-text i generate ? they're not copyrighted .. i suppose since the blockchain here will not have posts ALTERED once they're in it it should be possible to link to the images
HOWEVER ... mind you due to the "censorship is not possible" ... if Jock Strap and the Prom Queen downvote your post it will be "hidden" and the images in it will never be visible again once its in the chain (i think thats seven days after initial posting) so feel free to re-use them if it gets you anything, i am not a-verse to getting credit but i dont really care ... if you're gonna come out like I MADE THIS and make money off of it then i'm gonna be like Tim "the troll" Kruik up yo mommas ass ofcourse, if you dont then i dont give a shit wether you credit me or not .. okay ? if i got something worth copyrighting i wait til i get the money to pay for a patent cos i wouldnt trust anyone else to pay and own it for me ... ALL RIGHT Y THEN
ah ofcourse, precious .. well if you dont know how to shop or gimp you can google, right ? but these come all from cooltext.com i think (in case i make a dollarcent, right, gotta be consistent and shit)
