I agree with what you're saying.
I started one to feature quality content because I found these other ones featured a lot of irrelevant content IMO, but I guess that's not proper is it?
"This is my way of aggregating and sharing what I value as quality content on Steemit. For those who want to gain value from this content, great! That is the goal. If you want to upvote, great it helps everyone involved. If you don't want to upvote this and just get access to quality content, that's fine too. I will be dividing the payout I receive for this post to the authors."
Still not good? I am tired of the 90% filler garbage here, and want to do like on Facebook where you can share anything you find. I'm trying to make quality material known to more people.
I make my own content that does decent. The features get under $1 potential payout, but maybe that's because I just started.
Let me know what you think of my efforts. Thanks. Peace.
Hopefully the message here is that it's ok to help promote an author as long as you don't exploit anyone. It doesn't seem like you have any interest in exploiting anyone (quite the contrary, you are trying to help bring more good content and reward the creators). If you and the content creator are both happy, I don't think anyone is being exploited.
The share anything you find aspect is cool but as a content creator it scares the hell out of me people are willing to give up a good chunk of their profits just to potentially seen by more people.
You're doing well here krnel, that last post of your is taking off I see! I think original content is king but if you do want to feature people in your posts do it in your successful trending posts and shy away from posts made with sole purpose of just showcasing links.. Your feed and who you follow are visible to all. Let your feed be your featured posts so to speak. :)
