RE: Adding "Value:" How Your Actions and Contributions Today... Represent the Steemit of Tomorrow
I am in favor of a fair upvote distribution - of course!
But, in relation to quality content:
Facebook, twitter, instagram and many other social media platforms are thriving on short status updats, cat pictures and thumbs up (in addition to some qualitive content as well). People also enjoy short posts and easy interaction instead of long posts. I belive Steemit will have to accomodate those needs in order to grow bigger than some of the platforms we compare ourselves to...
We need to be the ideal choise for both long and short formats.
I agree with that @ronni... "quality content" doesn't necessarily mean "long." A short post, a photo, a clever political cartoon-- these can all add value.
Authentic dialogue on content-- on different content-- adds value. Engagement adds value.
Someone relentlessly posting "nice, please follow me and upvote my latest post" over and over and OVER again adds nothing (expect for a little "dust" to the blockchain) but DOES have the potential to drive out better content, if allowed to go unaddressed. In a sense... it's almost like a variation on Gresham's Law (bad money replaces good)... in this case, we allow the "lowest common denominator" to dominate.
