RE: Steemit.com Working Bad? Try Busy.org!

in #steem7 years ago

STEEM is having a civil war with multiple websites. . . it could be more collaborative. SteemIT is winning so far. . . but all are failing by falling the same way other sites have already failed. . . MySpace and AOL are great examples for a historical marker of what not to do. . . Learn from mistakes... these guys are too young to remember the true cause of the downfalls.

what's the answer?

I guess my 'answer' is to look at a site like MySpace and ask "WHY DID IT FAIL?" Some will say that Facebook crushed them, but NO it was the ability to run code on the individual pages which opened it up to hackers. . . and abuse. Some of MySpace failures, I see on Steem. The anonymous accounts have huge potential for abuse. The bots here have potential for abuse. The 'cleaners' here have potential for abuse. The 'community voting groups' are not focused on creating great content, group voting has potential for abuse. What's the answer to these issues? I don't know. . .but I see them, I observe them, and I am not blinded by whales saying these things are good.

great points, the thing of it is, we need to get the steemit page running strong again... you can't expect a broad base of people to log-in thru alternative websites, it's too confusing and is a confidence killer... everything online is about ease of use and consistency / peace

Yes, we need SteemIT back Strong. I believe they will fix the problems, which are based on security and someone has attacked with DDOS attacks. This is an issue that has security answers, so it wil be fixed.

There's no civil war between Busy and Steemit. They actually work on each others projects since some time ago.

Steem was built to be UI independent in this sense. That's how we try out new ideas.

I'm new here (100 days) and I'm mostly on SteemIT. . . I didn't know that they collaborate. I don't see the need for multiple sites, unless one site is providing features different than the other. I'm fine with the independent UI perspective....
