Hi @promo-mentors, a recent topic has been raised about dropping the focus on the idea of "quality" to Steemit as a blogging platform and start making it appeal to the masses as how other social medias around are.
Will the project affect the "quality" to contents published in the platform once it brought many users to the community?
Hey @imawreader, you are referring to the post of taskmaster right? I had seen that post.
If I understand your question correctly, you wonder what type of "quality" posters this project could attract. That is a good question. I agree with that not everybody need to spend a lot of time in making quality posts. In fact I think posts that focussed on friends and family, and that are not "quality" are perfectly fine. But we have to avoid people spamming steemit just to get votes. Which is why I wrote this in this post:
I hope we will send the right message to people with this project and that we don't attract the spammers.
Good question.
I was indeed referring to taskmaster's post. He has some points but I kind of don't like his way of thinking. As someone who was welcomed with the culture of how Steemit and other authors are maintaining the foundation of the network, I couldn't do anything but disagree.
I believe his points may be applicable to DApps as they are likely more similar to other social media, like how DTube is similar to YouTube. However, it may be better for DApps to have default (first) tag to identify their content.
Nonetheless, it's good to know that Steemit is now working on SEO for Steem and Steemit website. It's about time that contents made from the platform should be identifiable from contents made from DApps.
