RE: 5 Reasons why you should start writing posts on Steemit NOW
I get the motivation part of it all, but motivating people to post crud just because it 'might earn them some money' is foolish.
There IS a downside to it, if the spam overtakes the quality content, we need to curate through rivers of shit or risk losing value of the platform. Lurk more and learn what makes a good post if you lack in the passion to directly contribute. Posting for the hell of posting is costing value for all of us involved.
Agreed. In the end, only quality content will be upvoted. So people will think more before they post something for sure. But so far anyone can try himself or herself out without big penalties (I am not talking about opportunity cost of time here). Anyone should do so, explore yourself here and you get direct feedback right away =)
