Yeah trust me I know what you mean. Once in awhile I talk about STEEM in my content but it seems like a lot of times people just end up talking about how STEEM is the best thing ever and continually for the last two years that always has had a higher probability of getting a decent upvote.

But I know what you mean about people's content not being that engaging or useful a lot of times on here. It goes partially to what you were saying about long form content.

But it is strange because some of the stuff on YouTube is in a way meaningless but sometimes we get really pulled in by people's lifestyles or what they are doing on there. One guy who will get served up to me once in awhile is FouseyTube and obviously he got super popular with the fake pranks and now it would be easy to say that his content wouldn't be that interesting but there are certain facets of it that suck me in.

Like at one time he was renting some apartment in LA for $50,000 / month or something insane. Or he will tell some weird story or he will have a new tattoo and somehow I will find myself watching that guy. I don't know if it is because of all the pieces combined and the perception that it is important because he has so many subscribers and gets so many views or what.

I think another reason is that it is hard to make waves on here because of the way the trending page is and in general I feel that most people perceive this system as an unfair system overall so then people are trying to do what they can to work within that environment. I'm not sure.

At this point I'm primarily playing a game of doing content that will get upvoted by Busy.org and eSteems automated system with their delegated power. That is like one of the only reasons any of my posts get above $5 a lot of times. And I have one person who drops some solid votes on me once in awhile.
