Here is the issue. @ctime …. Please pay very close attention to what I am about to write.
There are a few people on Blurt, Hive, and Steemit that are going over to Instagram, they are finding a beautiful young model to copy their photos, photos of their face and almost naked bodies. They come to Blurt, Hive, Steemit and Create a Blog. They then proceed to post hundreds of these stolen photos as if it is them.
They are stealing this property and Identity and earning hundreds of dollars. Sometimes more than the Actual person in the photos … is this fair ?
How do you deal with these criminals when a robot automatically upvotes their stolen content ?
Is there a better way than to remove the upvote Button ? Do you delete these accounts ?
How do you deal with this ????
Please let us know what you think.
it doesn't stop the robot from voting
Personally I have decided to do not upvote about 30 accounts and unvoted hundreds of posts. Anyone can do the same thing, anyone can run a bot and comment on these accounts with plagiarism warning, but when you turning off the upvote button on official interface and saying we (the witnesses) decided ... you are acting like a Hitler.
My message to witnesses (who decided) is:
This is not your fucking business what people do with their stake. Turning off upvote button for people who paid real money for their account/blurt power and want to upvote own post is like stealing from them. Stealing is a criminal act and may be penalized one day (same way as plagiarism)
People can turn the upvote button back on if they want to. 4 or 5 mouse clicks and then you can feel like you're not being stolen from any more.
It was forced on all users, why not make it optional? If someone like it and wants to turn it on then she/he will have to make "4 or 5 mouse clicks"
It is optional with the default being "on". I think more people would want it "on" than "off" so it makes sense to me for the developers to choose "on" rather than "off". Some/many will disagree and would have preferred "off" to be the default.
There'll be users who disagree with any default setting - NSFW, % payouts... it'll be right for some, not for others.
Will you adjust your blockliist yo include the coal list? why so? why not?
That's right, they are taking the identity of others and there is also a lot of plagiarism, they even republish the same thing from time to time.
I had no idea this was going on, probably because most of my friends from hive/steemit came here, so my view is narrow, I did not get to see the bigger picture as you do.
Yeah I also feel I’ve not really seen any bad behaviour here at all tbh.
Nope, none at all.
Or even any arguing
People just ignore each other on here when they do not agree as there is no way to impose their will on people with downvotes, makes for a peaceful life.
yeah thats really true, today was the first time on the whole platform I did see a few arguments and it's only cause I was looking at a few witnesses etc to see who to add. The most I saw was a tiny bit of disagreement and powering down haha. Disagreements are healthy really it's only when someone with more stake can completely silence you into submission it's such an issue.
Yep, I suppose there are arguments, I just never go looking for them.
I honestly didn't realise there were any at all till I was looking through a few witness posts lol all I see is supportive people who want a peaceful life tbh. I guess once it gets busier there will be a few more. I got someone on my YouTube the other day type 'cringe what the hell is this' went to his page and under all his videos several people had written cringe, so clearly he just auto comments on things knowing negative comments like that make people go and check the channel to see who it is. People are so crazy these days I swear they can't just focus on building something people want to go and check out or by engaging with people in a positive way, they only know how to get attention from negativity.
That was one of the reasons I left the UK, so many negative people, and oh so argumentative, especially in Birmingham as it had a mass influx of people from abroad that do not want to mix with anyone outside their own religious ideologies.
Youtube is one of my pet hates, I never comment on there now as people just want to argue on there.
Our weather doesn't help no doubt haha
there are some really cool people here but yeah I am sure in some countries people have more to worry about than what is on social media, for some perspective. I think a big problem is too much time spent online and not making real connections, I notice it myself from being online way more over corona, it's easier to just get involved in these things. Trying to limit to specific online times lol else it's easy to lose hours and just get caught up in pointless back and forward arguing over topics. I swear some of the things people say online they wouldn't dream of saying in person. Even the downvoting can you imagine if these people just kept coming and taking £40 out of your pocket lol.
I genuinely think there is a strong chance some of the guys on that other platform are from a bigger organisation thats governmental, they never have any real data or photos, most of us put all our social media up and images really happily and links to our pages and they seem to censor anything thats not in alignment with the government narrative. They probably then collect a few people who have no idea who they are to work for them.
@frot and I have been saying that for years, if you check steemD you can find many accounts that were opened before steemit even launched, so yes, there is some insider stuff going on, frot thinks it is CIA based as Dan Larimers father worked for the gov in the USA. He invented (allegedly) steemit and helped with Etherium.
oh really thats interesting, well I wouldn't put it past anyone up there to make people think that something is 'decentralised' and for the people while subtley it's just another way to censor and have people live in fear. They are using the exact same methods they are using in real life. Same shit as with the doctors and nurses..... an unspoken stay quiet or you lose your job. On the platforms it's like don't speak on any none mainstream topic and we will just ensure you can never earn as much as us or do very well but we will keep drip feeding you enough that you fear being pushed off the platform completely. As soon as you let that go and just forget about the place it's much easier. I wonder if it was always the intention from the beginning to make people think they had freedom of speech to just try and get a few of the more free thinking people to also follow the system by making it seem like it's all their idea. I don't even trust bitcoin that much to be honest I am on the fence about who started that.
Yes, and yes to btc too imho...all a set up
Maybe a few coins like monero and zcash could be ok, fingers crossed
I have always questioned crypto lol especially BTC I have to go by feeling really and blurt just feels light energy.
wow that is very very interesting about dan larmiers father I have heard ppl say some of the bigger whales there are CIA, none of the big ones ever share who they are.
I think steemit and hive are both cia controlled, and nearly all the big whale accounts are part of a social media deep state project
I don't know as when those guys left for hive steemit felt super free, I just never felt the energy stay when that little group went. I think the energy moved with them tbh/ But it was probably designed with that in mind.
maybe they realised their were some issues in the programming and structure to keep people entrained so restarted with a new platform to iron them out.
Smooth and the many accounts associated with it were opened a day before bernies 100 plus accounts https://steemd.com/@smooth?page=310
Smooth supposedly works for Monero
I agree with him here I don’t think any platform can ever be the answer it’s up to people
https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/eos-drops-roughly-30-in-18-hours-after-daniel-larimer-leaves-block-one/
Lol, i am sniffing around on blurt and straight away find this crazy talk lol...
You found the right crazy mofos :-)
Just like old berniesanders accounts, he had or they had over 100 accounts linked to it. https://steemd.com/@berniesanders?page=5655
you should check some of the downvoting whales activity on steemit lol, huge delegations even now and loads of random bot accounts linked to sending them money every day. It's like a farming operation.
I know, I used to write about it on steemit, tracked a lot of accounts sideways like smooth, azircon, even found out where some of them live, Houston seems popular for hive/steemit farmers.
Look at Acidyos wallet on steem, it’s the same I think most of them are doing it. What’s in Houston? Lol
Isn’t nasa there and the space station ?
There is probably an elite ring then the kind of ‘celebs’ like in the real world. I have friends who genuinely experienced these people. They were told they would basically need to be part of it to make it to the next stage of their career if they wanted to go mainstream was the only way in. One a singer one an actor. Your kept on the periphery till you meet and sign to this inner circle.
There was a policeman who called out azicon
lol I love one of the top names is masters master :P
who the hell is endless.drugs lol
They are all the charcter they called berniesanders accounts, all opened before steemit went live to the public, all pre mined.
that trail goes endless.drugs capitalist.chile lol
Are you on discord ? Easier than this chat
Not been on there for years, would not even know my login details to be honest.
Are you posting naked selfies again?
Not yet, want a cock pic again bro?
The only thing I see is the legality issue that I saw talked about. Whilst honestly I would prefer this place was completely decentralised From what I hear it is the platforms responsibility to some degree to stop things that are illegal. The platform creators could end up being legally responsible if they don’t make an effort to take away plagiarism. If that’s true then I do understand why they need to take these actions.
