Two or three times this week in various ways the conversation about Quality Content came up.
Just today someone asked me what I vote on and why, so here it is.
My voting level is determined by time, current voting power and what I want to reward.
From day three I've thought that Quality Content is not what we should push, and I still haven't changed my mind. Most have stopped pushing it, but it sometimes takes a bad idea some time to die.
If you are a great writer or love to write, please feel free to publish some Shakespeare like work and hopefully, people will see it and accept it for the greatness that it is.
Personally, I am not a great writer... I don't think social media has anything to do with being a good writer.
For some reason, I have never understood why some thought a good business model would be to find the absolute best work out there and vote it up.
Quality Content is as many say often... is Subjective, but additionally, there is no reason to believe that there is a Demand for it and a lack of Supply. If I want a quality article on the finer points of "Under Water Basket Weaving", I can google it.
Proof of Google:
While I do like a clean readable post and struggle with broken English... If I can understand what the author is saying and I find it interesting I will likely upvote it.
I came here and continue to come here to learn about crypto, to meet some people who are out of my normal circle and hopefully to earn a bit of Steem.
I do not ever look for or try to vote on the BEST DARN ARTICLE of the day. I vote for people who say interesting things. If they post often and decided a short post or something they wanted to share today was what they posted... I will likely upvote it.
Even though some say we shouldn't talk about Steem, I love to talk about Steem and I like to hear other people's thoughts and ideas on Steem, so I reject that advice as well. I vote for Steem Articles pretty often.
Just giving upvotes takes a certain amount of budgeting and consideration as we don't have an endless supply of votes and hence can only support a limited number of posts. In addition, I like to manually curate, because I think eyes on the site are important.
I like to upvote success posts. To the effect of.. "Hey I Powered Up"... Well because I think we should celebrate success.
I no longer go through NEW. It's too messy. So, I have to learn to know your name or see a really interesting title or picture before to see it before I can vote at all.
So, that is what I vote for, no I don't have a well thought out plan for voting, I just vote as I go around reading things on Steem.
