The only thing I am seeing about giveaways is that some people are annoyed with them.

Why?

Because I don't follow people who are into giveaways.

It's too much noise for me. Not worth my time. So, I prevent them from wasting my time.

Right. That's why Follow and Mute are useful features.

Before the follow feature was introduced I had to create my own workaround solution to get around the noise.

Exactly.

Curate your own feed.

Reputation and cost paid are both relevant, but of these, reputation is most powerful. It's also more difficult to guide. Purposeful, mindful actions are required.

On Twetch, your attention is valuable to you.

On Twitter, your attention is valuable to others.

Stop wasting your attention. Unfollow those who waste your attention, or who try to co-opt the value of your attention.

Learn to take your own values seriously.

They are an attack vector. It's like being annoyed with a thief stealing change out of neighborhood cars. Maybe putting up a poster reminding people to lock their doors doesn't hurt. Also possible it does nothing lol

Just stop wasting your attention on them.

Stop interacting, and punish those who do with your inattention. Then, reward those who create valuable content.

I do that too :) No branches, no likes, no follows.
Many are following what they see and not trying to scam. They are new here don't know better. I have friends and family here like that and assume there are others. Low effort, high payout.

Yes... People need to learn what is or is not actually valuable... Hence why I'm engaging in this thread.

It’s more so how pervasive they can be, taking up entire blocks of the feed, even Kurt branched a giveaway. Also there was a giveaway that was ‘canceled’ by the OP but is still being branched and trending, basically a money grab.

I don’t participate in them, but those posts take away from everyone by diverting traffic to them. It’s in everyone’s incentive to try and stop these noob traps

It's called the cold shoulder...

Stop giving it attention, period.

Use the following feature purposefully. Signal:noise.

So should I unfollow @292 (Happy bday btw) because he infected my following feed?

Unfortunately the answer isn’t solely about me not giving giveaways attention

Hopefully something like this will curb them:

Once there are stable twetch SDK bots running, are we likely to see some perverse incentives arise?
Eg. If user X pisses you off because they cancel a giveaway you could deploy an "Unfollow" Bot: Gives 5 likes to everyone who unfollows user X.

Interesting idea, sounds like a lot to run it in practice though

I like using the latest and top feeds more than the following feed.

Apart from giveaway posts and the odd BSV beggers, I find there isn't much noise, a lot of what I see is informative or inspires me to follow new folks.

Then you aren't using the following feature very well...

I use it for folks that have made valuable contributions to what I read here on Twetch. A feature I will use more as time goes on.

We are in early stages under 10k, the latest feed still allows me not to miss out on any hidden gems of useful information.

You must have a lot more time on your hands than I do.
