@nanzo-scoop you missed quite a few important points:

- It was not a rant. It was a much wider message pointing out the issues on Steem in terms of Steem distribution and abuses on this platform, plus some proposals on how to drive a different approach through Utopian.

- Utopian targets a small niche? So thinkers, designers, developers, beta testers, content creators, video makers and all the other professions we target are a small niche?

- The post got 100% upvote, declined rewards and 4K Euros sent by me to the utopian-io wallet.

I believe you should less be worried about new users seeing a rant (that is not a rant) on top of the trending page and much more worried about what is wrong in this blockchain and how to fix it. In order to get things noticed sometimes you must shout them out and on the bottom of the post is also explained the reason of the provocatory message.

Just being honest, you shouted out this video before actually getting into the thing deeply enough to actually understand it.

Thanks

There is nothing "deep" to get into. This is child's play.

The points you make may be important to you but not to me. The points I find important are in my video and blog post.

Like I told you at Steemfest, I like what you've done with Utopian.io and the impact you've made in a short period of time. It is commendable. I want Utopian to win. If Utopian wins, Steem wins, I win.

A 'rant'/ declaration of war/ whatever it was against phishing on Steemit.chat (not even a Steem blockchain app) is cool too. Everyone's entitled to vent. I vent too. If you're 'shock jocking' the subject to make a different point, more power to you.

However when the post is upvoted to the top of the trending page by one account super charged with delegated steem power that was primarily sponsoring the account for other purposes... well, that is symptomatic of why I don't visit the trending page often. This kind of thing is nothing new. It's been happening (in different guises) since I joined the platform 18 months ago. I think/ hope the development of things like Communities is a step that might help elevate this (and promote valued content) in an organic way.

For example, I'd much rather see details of a innovative Open Source Initiative top the trending page then another promo about the frontend that will promote/ bring Open Source Projects topping the feed (again and again). Until people get sick of it and there's a backlash... Then the backlash tops the trending page. Then something else pops up promising to deliver the "killer Steem app" hits the top of the trending page... and the cycle continues...

Been there, done that. Bring on Communities.

That is the extent to which I'm 'worried' about anything that goes on the Trending page. One video. One post. One reply (this).

@nanzo-scoop probably you picked the wrong example to explain your vision. I already posted about these scammers and it did not work since the post did not get enough exposure. I used this occasion to do 2-3 main things, as you read in my post.

- Bring the attention to those scammers in order to avoid newbies being scammed.
- Step out from posting about Utopian and move everything under the official account so to decrease the chances of scammers using my name and to make the project more driven by a common identity than a single person
- I proposed Utopian as a community witness.

I may understand that the contents may not be of your interest and your point was supposed to be on how to fix content discovery in Steemit and I agree that is gonna happen with the communities. At the same time you took Utopian as a strong example of that when I believe there are much better and suitable examples, giving the fact I never use Utopian manually to vote on my things and you know the project has the best intentions.

This is my thought.

Money Talks and Bullshit Walks!!! Isn't it?

I agree 100% with @nanzo-scoop period.

Worried about what is wrong in this blockchain? Please enlighten us, whats wrong?

The trending page is full of garbage that belongs in a developers forum!!!

Quote: "proposals on how to drive a different approach through Utopian"

What does that mean, focus on the user? Like me and @nanzo-scoop? Or you developers?

My developers? @nokodemion we can have a discussion when you know what you are talking about. Sorry don't mean to be rude but if you miss the basis I can't guide you through them now.

You are a clever person, but cleverness is not intelligence.

Do you know me? How can you tell I miss the basis? Why you think you are the only one knowing what he is talking about?
