What Type of Steemian are YOU? ( Original Interactive Quizgame )

My comments are posts. Someday I'll get succinct down. Til then, not easily offended and glad you took the time to reply at all :-)

(today I had the most comments I've ever had - and totally get how long it can take and how much brain energy is required to respond thoughtfully to everyone!) Thanks for the follow and sweet dreams!

I am sure that I have more than a few essay length comments on the blockchain, though not so many in recent months.

I think all sites are designed with gamification in mind at this point - though we can all say we hate that aspect of basically everything - would we really be content on a platform without likes - or some kind of dopamine reward.

I don't think dopamine rewards ought to come so easy. It isn't healthy. But, supposing there was no gamification of social media, I expect there would still be rather frequent dopamine hits. But the difference is, we would be getting them from genuine interactions with others in the community.

I feel that the way this site is set up, no dopamine hit can match that of a massive whalevote, and so any would-be genuine interactions with genuine people, become disingenuous pleasantries behind disingenuous personas that have been selected purely to increase the chances of getting that hit we really want- the whalevote or trending post.

You'll have to forgive me, I wasn't always so cynical, and I do still recognise great potential in this platform. I just became disillusioned of the likelihood of its realisation a while back.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you a potentially strange question. In the practice of tarot reading, could a subject's cards be read using only their name, or would one need to be in the immediate vicinity of a tarot reader, or capable of read them their self?
