Hmm yeah now that I'm taking a look at musing again, the first 2 questions I saw about cryptocurrency - apart from maybe the first answer - the responses are significantly lower in quality when compared to Quora. Not just shallow, typos jumping out at you, and generally just very unhelpful responses. There's a regular too... he answers by listing the Top 10 on CMC and his is the top 5 most voted answers. That type of impression kills the site's reputation. Worse, he's not the only one doing it and those similar lists get voted.
The thing is, it could turn into something great, but like I mentioned in my last post on this thread, there are some really glaring issues that need fixing first.
I'm hoping for them to come out with an update that basically prevents people from earning for writing low-quality replies.
I've brought this up in a few posts of mine on Steemit, but Musing did not respond to them yet.
It's got potential, but they need to work on their presentation first.
Might have been a little bit too positive about it in my previous posts in this thread.
Also @buwaytress I share your concerns about Steemit itself.
As long as bots run the platform, it's basically useless as a social media website.
My hope is that Steem Inc will slowly start selling all of their shares in the platform and let the community take over.
The mismanagement of the platform is hugely their fault IMO and once new Steem interfaces start popping up, the bots will no longer be an issue.
There are already people working on building dapps that completely erradicate any posts on which bots have been used.
Which is a step in the right direction.
