The Beauty of Incentivized Comment Threads [Original MEME]

in #meme8 years ago

You know how it goes. In general, at least, it works out pretty well. I always found it funny that, contrary to what more altruistic minded folks expected, the incentivized commenting here on Steem doesn't reward phony flattery and fake agreement, really. Money, as Francisco d'Anconia famously states in Atlas Shrugged, is the root of all good. Money, keeps shit real.

Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan. Graham runs the "Voluntary Japan" online initiative with a presence here on Steem, as well as Facebook and Twitter. (Hit me up so I can stop talking about myself in the third person!)

Hahaha... To a great extent you are right. Monetized comments do make way for a civilized and fact driven comments thread, unlike some other social media platforms such as ☺️📕.. 😉

But isn't the very fact applicable to content producers as well?? Most of us on steemit try to bring in something new, something engaging; instead of brainless forwards that keep circulating on other social media sites.... After all who wouldn't like some crisp $$ bills 😜😜.. Peace

Great comment and awesome meme!

Thank you @teamsteem for the kind words. 😊☺️

Great reference :)

Good post, thanks for sharing

I love this meme. I am going to use it on Facebook. Steemit rules!

Haha, right on. I just shared it there, too :)

ahahaha yeah bro it definitely seems to help to have more than rep on the line it seem's :)

Jerry springer for facebook especially in groups so spot on xD

Money, keeps shit real.

Hahaha this is perfect

I think Steemit is a wonderful place for level headed libertarians. A few get attacked and downvoted by liberal left leaning whale/accounts who don't comment and express their disagreement just downvote because they don't like what they are posting.

The market will have its way with that kind of stuff, too, one way or another.

I agree I just hope the people who do post don't get discouraged and quit the platform. They need to HODL!!

lmfao, after years of commenting on facebook I said to myself "Why am I doing this?"

But facebook is entertaining, steemit gives stress @kafkanarchy84

I wonder what steemit standard behavior will be once we get 25% of the FB users switching over?

haha, that's funny!

The right words

LMAO too funny

So true!! 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

That is pretty funny haha. Thanks @kafkanarchy84

So what you're saying is that there's very little chance of a Steemit Reality TV show anywhere in the near future?

I totally agree with this meme.

That's a really funny meme. Wow, think we could empty out the prisons by rewarding folks for good behavior instead of punishing the bad behavior? It's kind of like paying protection money though isn't it.

Can help me can explane me ??

Haha It's funny, Thanks

lmao.......that is so true......very funny. Upvoted. @waykiwayki

I love it and it sums it up perfectly! Great post. People much nicer here.

kkkkkkkkkk

What is "kkkkkkkk"?

It's hahaha in portuguese :)

Didn't know that! Learned something new!

I should have written hahaha, but for us it's natural kkkkk :)

Unless a flag or down vote is used. Then it turns to Maury or Jerry Springer.

I don't have a problem with flags and downvotes, really, unless the feature is being abused.

It has helped me to get rid of a lot of spamming on posts.

If it is abused, it ultimately comes back on the abuser in the form of no upvotes, bad rep, "revenge" flags, etc, no?

I absolutely love flags. There are still a lot of spammers and people leaving generic one-liners for the sake of up-voting themselves.
Use hammer. Crush like bug.

Hahaha. My sentiments exactly.

I agree they have their place. But one whale flag can cause you to lose all your rep. Ouchie. I have no problem with them I just seen the drama.

Pretty funny.

really great meme I like it thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)

One of the best books ever written imo. You sir get an upvote lol

lol yes, i like the rather positive energy Steemit users have.

Despite all the recent complaints about spammers, the comments on Steem overall are a pretty good place. You can find some really nice discussions in there for some users' posts.
