We are left with non-political content making all the money. Perfectly fine by my standards.
The STEEM blockchain will always print a certain amount of currency everyday. When you downvote someone for a full $, you literally give cents to all other authors in the trending, who legitimatly are better in your eyes.
It will be a problem for any content that is controversial, not necessarily just political content.
I'm only proposing we need to carve out a space for controversial content. If the masses of users don't see it unless they look for it (like on reddit), then this incentives the maximum amount of people to buy steem.
The alternative, is content contrary to the dominating ideology will be censored and people who want to support such content will be discouraged since their upvotes will be negated by larger accounts.
I thought it would be an opt in for the poster, something like:
The only way to censor content in a private tag would be if all witnesses decide to not write content from a certain private tag to the block-chain. So you would need 95% of the community to think the content is obscene rather than one person with an agenda before the content is banned.
Expanding on the idea: you could allow people to register, own, moderate, and collect the curation rewards from their owned private tags.
Without a hard-fork to implement private sub-reddit style tags, I suppose an option to not to have your content show on trending, and hope agenda driven down-voters don't bother you would be nice.
me too
Fuck your standards you fucking tool.... Time for a new video platform it seems.....
