RE: Attention Steem Holders: Did the VICE snapshot of the steem blockchain just happen?

in #steem7 years ago

Like it or not, porn has been the driving force in advancing video technology, including internet streaming. Some 30% of internet traffic is estimated to be porn. If decentralized blockchains are the future of the internet, this sort of thing is going to be a big deal.

As others have pointed out, this isn't so much a reflection of Steem as a copy with some different features and goals which could compete with some current uses of Steemit. If you don't like the seedy side of Steemit, this could actually be good news, as users may prefer to post that stuff on VICE.

@scottyeager As we know, there's nothing new under the sun. Porn has been around long before it had the name.

Porn is a billion-dollar industry. Beyond prayer, and sharing the truth about it's destructive force as warranted, I don't concern myself with it. One has to stay reminded that God gives everyone FREE WILL. The wise person weighs the consequences.

Thankfully, Steemit has the NSFW tags to prevent it being a factor for bloggers. Prayers for those who are addicts that they yield not to temptation.

Peace.
