In theory I like the idea. But wouldn't it cause more issues than it would resolve ? What about posts with a video for example ? Or about memes posts or photographers' posts, that don't need any kind of description ? :)
Okay the way you see it makes sense to me (Steemit for articles, Dtube for videos and so on). I'm just wondering how the community would react to a bot guiding (directing?) steemit posters behavior like this. I guess it would really depends on the minimum number of words/characters and how much it would downvote non compliant posts. As you said, it's very important to avoid creating social media authoritarianism. For example I would never start setting the bot with 1000 characters minimum, because I think a bunch of writers doing regular but short yet informative and quality posts might suffer from it.
By the way, I see you have some interesting and well made posts. Upvoted and followed, keep up the good work :)
Hi @introvertspeaks!
I agree 100% on enhancing the quality of platform content as a whole. I don't think the answer lies in a word count limits though - some of the most valuable items of cultural heritage are thoughts preserved in memorable expressions consisting of no more of a few meaningful words appropriately strung together.
I think the real devils degrading this platform are loopholes for making money via up-voting schemes that have absolutely nothing to do with content quality - getting bots like the valiant @cheetah to automatically neutralize mechanisms of that ilk by giving as many down-votes as false up-votes were given may me more effective, don't you think?
A simple short question posed as a post by someone seeking more knowledge or insight on any subject may indeed be more productive in terms of quality interaction than a wordy article contributing nothing really new.
