Hey Steemians!!
I made myself a new intro, you can check it in the video above!
But it’s time to get down to some serious nitty gritty. Let’s have a conversation about quality. The Steem blockchain is such an amazing platform, and we need to ensure as a community that we aren’t plaguing it with low-quality content. After all, quality is what keeps people sticking around.
Every day for me is a new day. Every day I look back and work on how I could do and be better than yesterday. If we aren't growing we aren't progressing. And there's a couple of reasons why we should always make sure that we do our best on the blockchain.
- You will keep your followers.
- You will increase the value of the blockchain.
- You will feel better about yourself.
- You will stand out.
Every person has a different way of portraying themselves and expressing themselves. However it’s up to them to make sure that they set the bar for themselves and bring forth their very best possible on every post!
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
I believe that everything I desire to accomplish, will in fact be accomplished.

Great video!
Totally agree:)
If people with high influence reads quality posts, they should consider upvoting the author. That will set a good example for others to appreciate and reward quality authors. Even though they sacrifice voting power.
Yes Sir, great post.
What's the difference between DTube and Utube?
I've had a few UTube channels (nothing ever really took off); however, UTube demonetized a few of my videos, when the subject matter was sensitive. Does DTube sensor content?
Newq
I have newer heard of Utube before and even could not find it in the google search? Can you link it so I could check it out?
@spenceryan how do you have such great quality? Would be nice if you share your info! :) Thx for your time!
So TIL; Quality Over Quantity. Ok, now I will go grow my audience (please sub me???)

lity over tity - thats a tough choice
Been less than 24hrs since I joined... So still learning the ropes... But so far I've read some quality works... Still don't fully know what the platforms about but I guess err'tin is a learning curve....
The platform is whatever you want it to be. If you love sports, blog about sports. If you love art, blog about art. As long as its quality content and something you are passionate about, you should be successful.
Don't worry.... I am also a newbie, but in my couple weeks on the platform the beautiful thing I have noticed is there is something for everyone.
How can I vote? I see on your post 1 vote, and then what? Do you get a vote if I reply?
You can upvote yourself once a post
True and you don't even have to blog if you don't want it you can just engage in the comments and build your presence that way.
If you dig for it you will find it that's for sure.
similar here just need a lot of research and get me really exited to do it
Love the idea behind Steemit and having quality content; however, I am experiencing bugs operating the website on an android which is annoying and the website is still clunky to move around so hopefully their website developers continue to improve as we improve our content quality as well.

Thanks if you have the time to consider my reactions Spence! @opensourcery. [a new but very PRIMARY account here]
Thanks for keep reminding me about the quality since i am new to this steemit community.
"Concentrate on quantity while still keeping a reasonable level of excellence" ~ @enchantedspirit
That was the best response I got when I asked the quality vs quantity question. I like Casey Neistat's approach as well. Be the best version of yourself, make the best quality that you can make :).
#lobi
I love all of Casey Neistat's quotes. Almost every time i'm working on a video something he's said pops into my head. I'll be going out to film something and be thinking "I don't want to take my big nice camera, i'll just bring the gopro and my phone." Then Casey's voice: "Always use the best camera you have available to you." So I bring the big camera and I'm always really glad I did.
Haha.. yes, that is a struggle. But, he also looks at convenience, so there is nothing wrong with a quick and dirty Gopro/Phone shot now and then. Actually, right now, my Samsung smartphone is actually my best available camera. Planning to upgrade next month.
I realized that too, I saw that I wasn't filming some cool stuff because It wasn't very convenient with my setup I got for commercial work, so I got a cheap setup based only on being as small, lightweight, and convenient as possible and it's made all the difference. I plan to make a video about this really soon actually...
Looking forward to it. Checked out a couple of your posts and oh man, can't wait to learn how to make time lapses like you. Unfortunately, you are going to pull me out my comfort zone when it come to editing programs :D..
It's easier then you think! As soon as you've followed along with a couple basic tutorials about a program and see how things work, it becomes second nature. I was lost at first too, but after making a few videos and getting into the work flow and using google when I got stuck, it's really easy.
Ok. I'll give it a try. Promise.
Casey is awesome, have heard about GaryVee?
Actually, yesterday's vlog was a GaryVee exclusive ;)

Nice!
Hey @spenceryan I remembered when you first joined Steemit...you have done so well for yourself and I’ve watched your posts become more and more popular and fruitful...I just wanted to say that you are really an inspiration..your content is always A plus and that’s why you have the success you’ve been awarded.
Peace man
any news for how Blockchain won't be lagging so much once millions more join in?
You are right - we need to keep the content quality up.
Good content with either useful or informative information!
I totally agree with this, when I signed up to DTube and realised the resolution was 480p max I almost didn't even bother, but then I decided to at least upload my old YouTube videos (as the quality was low anyways). But then I saw the value of uploading original quality content to DTube and I can see the blockchain really taking off later this year if more people add value to it :)
Im a bit torn about this to be honest. What i intend to make requires a lot of work and i cannot be posting it everyday. Quality requires time+money.
What i noticed (although im very new) is that quality doesnt attract followers here by itself. Connecting with people does.
Id even claim that i could be utterly atrocious, the worst musician in the world, the primary thing im doing, but if im extremely sociable id do much better here then an world class musician thats just an ok guy/girl.
Thats very odd to me. Just an opinion. I could be completely wrong. Good thing people are great here so its not hard to make friends. :D
**i think i responded to the wrong person. I apologise. :) **
Oh well. haha
When you say 'here' you are talking about this platform but look at the music 'industry' and certain musicians who are just terrible yet have unbelievable success. Unfortunately the music business is 98% business and 2% music so if you're good at networking and business you got a real shot at making it. The same goes for the social media world as well... Don't worry about responding to the wrong person lol
Hehe. Might as well respond anyway. :).
Well sure. I completely agree which is why i try to be realistic and say that quality will not be the factor to determine your success here, just like it isnt in real life. Id even say that quantity (which satisfies basic standards) > Quality.
But then again i think im very good and im doing extremely well imo, this being only my 4. day here.
Hahaha :D
Well yes, truth is the quality/quantity thing does depend on the niche. But yes in your case I'd totally say keep uploading stuff to Dsound, that should work out very well for you :)
We are the steemit and the better we make this community the more valuable it will be in the future!
Quality over quality , such great post title , thanks for the #dtube video
Less quantity, more Quality is always the best way to go !
I am new to steem it and totally agree with you..i am still trying to workout the system, but at least trying to put out some thoughtfully edited content. I didnt even know about dtube until this post ha..must be out of the loop on the social media platforms, but againis the reason why i am a avid user of them myself keep it up
Is quality always rewarded here in Steemit? I've read so many good posts here and watched number of good contents on Dtube but still they got only few cents, whereas some not so good contents got big upvotes, is it only because they're so visible with some Whales? Or can we both perform them? Quantity of Qualities...so we could be visible enough for the Whales to be noticed and be upvoted.
Good question @joshvel! I have been thinking about that too and yes I have seen some abuse of power like incase of flagwars between haejin and bernie.
You're right bro! Let's take a selfie!
Thank you! :D
For more creative stuff. Follow me :D
@ezraabas
QUALITY!
I thoroughly concur with this, when I joined to DTube and understood the determination was 480p max I nearly didn't considerably trouble, however then I chose to at any rate transfer my old YouTube recordings (as the quality was low in any case). However, at that point I saw the benefit of transferring unique quality substance to DTube and I can see the blockchain extremely taking off in the not so distant future if more individuals increase the value of it :)
Nice
Quite new in the community but learning a lot since I joined. And I'm glad to have come across your post @spenceryan. A great addition to knowledge. Thanks
I joined a couple days ago. And it seems like steemit, like any other platform, has its fair share of quantity and quality. There are plenty of garbage posts that are nothing more than fishing for upvotes. And there are quality posts as well. Ultimately, I think any platform has this. YouTube and Tumblr have their fair share of "quantity" content as well. But I think what steemit represents, a decentralized platform with the opportunity to not only say what you want to say without being beholden to censors or advertisers, but also the opportunity to make some money (and maybe even earn a living) solely based on the enjoyment you bring others with your content... I think that is a really valuable concept. I think steemit has nowhere to go but up.
I just join steemit yesterday. You elaborate it nicely. I think if you want to work on steemit delicately they will reward you. I think this is the best platform till. I heard it about just few week ago and i sign up. Keep providing quality content and steemit give you rewards for your work. Quality content mean you are providing knowledgeable material which is 100% accurate and answer of user question.
Welcome to community @kamesh! We are steemit and we make it great together!
Quality > Quantity
Yes, I agree with you sir. We must improve the quality of our post it's very important. God bless you
awesome! I also believe blockchains which hold content (like steemit) can result in organic growth of followers instead of fake waves we see in old SMs.
@spenceryan, great motivation for me this morning.
Next step for me: Buy a quality camera.
Have a great day and keep the quality coming. We’ll do our best to reciprocate for the other Steemians.
great intro bro!
I think you have the right idea. If this platform is going to last and people are going to invest in it, it has to be quality content that's going to make it all work.
I want to invest in bitcoin but I'm afraid.
That's #badquality post
sorry 😞
hi Spencer
may I have a question please?
how is it I have 0.01 USD earning on a post with 7 upvotes, but some have average 1+ USD per upvote?
in the end of the day, there should be a normal distribution of upvoting power or ...?
Good post. I would put my emphasis that I enjoy original content, herein, quality is a must (NOT quantity). I see a lot of let us call them "shitposts" or just reposts of some other content from the internet, while making serious amounts of cash because of.. because of nothing. Me, quite the junior poster on steemit am glad to have this opportunity to express my personal pictures and thoughts, yet it is unbelievably hard to get the appreciation, seems to be my two rare posts are lost in the STEEMIT, just to be overtaken by somebody with reposted crap. I hope, true writers and quality material will be awarded. FYI - thanks, if you opened my blog to see what I am on about.
yap Its was awesome. I believe in it...

Very good quality your right on point with that one and dont forget the steemit platform helps the price of steem go up so steemit to the moon
"The quality of our content determines the quality of our monetization. It's true." sips beer
quality
I agree. Each of us must set goals for what we want to each and every day. We should look back and evaluate how we performed against the very goals we set for ourselves.
Ah, this is interesting. You can see this from two different perspectives, one angle I see it as a testing ground to learn something new everyday. When you're new at a skill, consistency is key. Consistency for someone new can be defined as every day, every other day, or once a week. On the flip side, I suppose once you have 'mastered' a skill, you can do less and create better things.
Honestly, I haven't even figured it out. I have an intense personality so everyday is the only thing that works for me. Mindfulness and self-awareness is key when it comes to this concept!
Thanks for sharing, also appericate the upvotes :)
totaly agree with you from geting beter you create much beter things with less effort
quality
The big question in my mind right now is what we should do when the native market share is full?
I love this platform and hope my channel does well but it can only gain so many users.
Most people migrating from YT don't know or care about the differences here so there's a limit.
Is a given channel truly sustainable in that case?
very Good
I was wondering what you where about to say with such a title. Watched through your video and I agree, basically deliver your best consistently
I want to do both but this site has a bandwidth limit on quantity. lol
