milking :D
I agree with you. I think it's something that needs to be handled carefully. Because some spam happens from users no matter what.
Because it's not that clear what spam is. Is spam something really stupid ( fuck then 100% of my post are spam :P) or something really useless?
A good parameter is IMO user engagement for that and off course topic relevance.
I would love to see ( for SEO reasons too) tags become tags again and front ends find another way to include content.
Maybe a tag list: finance, crypto, stocks, real estate, and whatever is finance related = leo and so on.
this would also allow better content distribution to users and show real related content. Lower bounce rate, longer time spend on site = higher rankings = higher revenue from ads ( in most cases).
Maybe a simple #frontend inside or under the content can be something for now.
I mean there are open source released tag connections (that maybe need human review) to include in front ends.
A standard for hive and tribes would be amazing for that.
I would really love to see some natural hashtags again. So it would be easier to find content we are interested in.
