Facebook, Instagram, Google Plus, Tumblr, Twitter (etc) all have a system of likes where everyone's vote counts equally. And yet on steemit this doesn't happen. Take out the money element, and tell me honestly you think a system where different people's likes have more power would work on any other social media platform. Can you really see facebook implementing this – and hiding people's posts who get disliked by people who own all the liking power. And furthermore, can you see them doing this and retaining their users?
I don't think so. We need to wake up and get the developers to make a change.
We are the platform. We are the ones with the power. It's a social media platform, and it won't work if people don't use it to socialise.
For mass adoption to work, we need to be better than other social media networks. A system which allows certain people to promote their views more than others is a bad one.
For free speech, for the future of social media on the blockchain – we need to stop vested voting.
