"Show me on the doll where the tag hurt you, PZ." @r0nd0n It hurts my brain that people ("not Justine") can compare downvotes to child molestation, and then say this behavior needs

What's more, STINC added "reward disputes" to their GUI after the first whale wars. These wars caused people to clamor for a fix and put the company under so much pressure that they lazily added

I'm not sure you know what my grasp of work is, weren't you the one trying to sell me on UBI the other month. Is that what work is?

"Because that has anything what so ever to the question regarding what you perceive as A Utility from Steem." Good point. A utility is a state or quality of being useful. The only reason I can

Well, I'm glad to know you wouldn't go there. Some whales who also enjoy downvoting, float the doll meme a lot in the various channels. If I misinterpreted what you said, then I sincerely apologize. If

"How is that a utility?" If you don't like it, fork it out of the code. Make it so that all votes are equal regardless of your investment. "And how is that something sustainable that people

Steem's utility is the ability to draw more from the reward pool. That said, if someone buy's a bunch of stake and uses it to promote their own posts. Then people like you, the NewSteem Culture are going

The NewSteem Culture is a place where pretentious and judgmental whales have crawled out of the woodwork and are now flagging people because they have free downvotes, which allows them to thrust their

When combined with the information tab, this is an extremely helpful tool. Awesome work you did here ura-soul!

When you include the words in his pictogram, the character count on krnel’s post is 640. If you compare that number to the count in your previous post (which is 740), the difference in content volume is

This is great! It’s some very enlightening and disturbing storytelling. Far less far-fetched when you realize the tech is already here, and or right around the corner in our commercial future.

No worries bro #newsteem will be almost as popular with stakeholders as #newcoke. Didn't you know that free downvotes means Lambos and butterflies for all? Pretty soon everyone will wtb steem just to get

It's not so much your cynicism, and I do like to think about complicated topics like blockchain, politics, and religion too; But the more I read the whitepaper and see the direction Steem is going, the

LOL “Admits,” the only thing he’s admitting in fewer words is that he’s spiteful he didn't get nominated for SCOTUS. What Trump did is not a crime. Napolitano didn’t answer Shepard Smith’s question, what

You know what, after reading the whitepaper; I’m no longer opposed to Marky’s actions. I want him and his downvote posse to get the lid on this bucket of crabs and jam it on tight. This is because Steem

I've concluded that we need to admit to ourselves that the whitepaper got it wrong. We can't get any good measure of a post's value based on the weight applied to a post or the number of votes. This, because

Points taken, I'm going to respond here maybe not point by point, but to at least get us in one thread.

Yeah, that is spam. It’s the same 7 minutes, and 54-second video posted every time. I think an algorithm should hide it from trending, but STINC is a slow evolving platform, perhaps another condenser will
