RE: Quality won't matter: Change with the Demographic [RANT and suggestions]

in #steemit8 years ago

meh.
I disagree. The good content will win out, you can;'t post more than 4 times/day without paying a premium and the downvote bots and flagging systems will soon "train" new shitposters that this is not the kind of shit that works around here.

meme and cheap giggles will not a steem-fortune make.

But yeah, I see why you think this, maybe learn to:

  • center your images
  • break paragraphs for readability

As for seeing only what "interest" me and what my friends do, that's exactly what I don't want. Closing myself into an echo room? Why would you want that?

Sort:  

Seems you don't get it.
Seeing what those post that you follow will guarantee you'll only see quality content which interests you. It's like subscribing in youtube. No one is forcing you to use that. Go discover new things at will.
And an echo chamber and filtering things that interest me, are not the same things.
Paragraphs usually mean a new thought or problem is being discussed. I can't do that. And as sidenote here: my post is so short and already has 2 paragraphs, how many do you need for readability? This isn't kindergarden.
Centering this small gif? Why? I don't have OCD. I don't care where that small gif is.

Well, the "good" content is defined by what community value.
By increasing the size of the community, you dilute the quality variable to the most common denominator : meme and cheap giggles.
Even with only 4 posts/day, if there is enough shitposters & shitlikers, the top post are gonna be shit.
For the downvote bot and flagging system, I don't know. I guess, if there's enough counter-weight from people liking shitposts, their utility is reduced. (But I could be completely wrong, I may need to lurk more before talking rubbish)
