I do not claim I have the solution but I hope we could find one together with all this beatifull community. And by beautifull community I don't speak about people only interest in earning money by upvoting like robots. I mean the people who want to change the way we create value.
Changing the world ain't easy. I tried to be honnest. I hope it will be heard as a constructive critic and not a bad intention.
I actually believe I have an idea as to how to better determine what is valuable on this platform and truly any platform. I think the problem lies in the binary nature of an upvote. It is either up or down. One cannot express why the enjoyed something with so little information. I think if we begin to evaluate content not just with mindless scrolling and clicking a thumbs up or upvote but rather by describing and enumerating WHY something has value to us, we can then begin to promote truly VALUABLE content.
For example, @exyle is constantly on the front page, making hundreds of dollars with his daily vlog. I have nothing against him personally, but it appears there are people putting more effort and thought into their content who aren't even close to registering the same impact. Now, I'm not saying that his content is any less valuable per se, but I certainly don't believe, from the limited time I've spent viewing his content, that it is orders of magnitude more valuable than other content I've viewed.
I would love to hear your thoughts on my post.
