RE: Creating "Evergreen" Content in an Instant Gratification World
Great minds, yadda, yadda...
I guess part of the "acid test" for me is to consider whether some random person might find a measure of value in what I put out there... next month, next year, or whatever. If I can't see a reasonable purpose for the writing to exist-- beyond my temporary amusement in this minute-- then it probably doesn't get written...
I am going forward on the assumption that "quality matters" here on Steemit, but I am also aware that there will be all sorts of things here. Whereas the rewards are nice, I'm not going to sacrifice my fundamental approach to make a few more dollars.
This is a good approach to have I think even if the quality gets lost in the system perhaps it gets found again and helps someone in the future.
There definitely is going to be a growing quality divide moving forward as more join. It is only natural I guess. Well, socially engineered, but you know what I mean.
We can but wait and see.
I am feeling mildly hopeful that when the hordes of "general money-for-nothing seekers" make their entry, the community will take the time and effort to flag/downvote plagiarism, copy paste comments and comment spam to keep them from having a rewarding experience here.
