True the quality content is much better, sure short term the short posts might attract some people, but the short posts have no real value except to drive traffic away from SteemIt. The creators that are here making good content should be paid, not the ones who copy and paste. If they make anything it should be mere pennies, since there would be no real benefit to those types of posts. I don't understand how those here for profit would agree that the short posts add value here.

I would make the distinction between short posts and bad quality. Sure, not every short post will be good just like making something long doesn't make it good, but there is benefit for things that are interesting finds, put into an easier to digest manner. Personally I feel there is a happy medium to be struck here where longer posts (that are of quality) can get the larger rewards and the shorter posts (also of quality, requiring personalized added value) can receive rewards even if smaller.
I also feel that having good quality short form posts can provide those quick reads for prospective content consumers, who I feel are a great benefit to this site. While I could easily be wrong, I have concerns about only having content creators around. Unless your a high SP holding curator, there are limited reasons to be here. Imagine if major magazines or other well known blogging sites only got their content out to their contributors. The whole points (in my eyes) is to get exposure to the greater masses...which I feel can be done through various post formats.
Just my take, not claiming to be the end all on this.
I see your points, I guess I mean the one liner, and this comes into debate of what short, medium or long posts can be or are.
That I can totally agree with. I'd have trouble upvoting (and considering it quality) a post with a single line. I have to feel that value has truly been added in some way. I may not flag it, but I'd probably leave a nice comment trying to inform them what I (or the community in general) might need to see to get it upvoted/rewarded.
This is a newer area for Steemit users in general and we'll all have some subjective things to figure out on what we want to upvote.
I just said this above a couple places...
"I was in threads recently with @donkeypong etc -- and agreed that short form posts have a place and can be great posts. Not everyone can spend time on a long post -- either writing or reading it. They have a purpose for sure. You will see my odd post up stating Short Form Post right in the title so people know it is short. Not meaning it is crappy lol
Clinical issues or time constraints both play a role in people not having the ability to read long posts, even though some are just beauties. You know what I am saying "
Good point, I think we mean more the one liners or the video links. Your short posts still tend to have content that I have seen, or more than just one liners.
You are right. Maybe we could all agree on reward limit for such posts as 2SBD max per post (4SBD per day), so they will still earn something despite it taking them 30 seconds to create it :-)
I would say less, but yeah your right there, a daily max, but if I'm not mistaken they still have the 4 post max like everyone else to keep from flooding SteemIt.
Yes 4-5, that's the limit but it is not enforced. It is usually chased by steemcleaners after the fact :-)
Cool, I don't think I have tried more than 4 in a day, today I did my 3 photos for the photography contest, not great ones, but my longer post will have to wait till tomorrow, I want to get the full payout for it. As well as I'm still working on it.
As far as I know there 4 posts in 24 hours limit is still in effect with regards to the % payout penalty applied to all posts in that time frame. I've heard talk of this being lifted in the future, but I do believe the 'code' technically enforces this through reduced payouts.
