The Blocktrades Contest | Why aren't there any micro blogs ever trending?
I think that the post that I have included below is my best work to date. I want to see more steemians using their accounts to microblog. I think that outside of the other apps off the block chain, steemit can still be used as a Twitter/Instagram/Facebook hybrid. I don't think that users need to add hundreds of lines of content and handfuls of different pictures to their posts. I hope more steemians begin to realize this and that the quantity of content in their work doesn't really mean it's the top quality stuff. I want to be a leader in actual microblogging. Even if my one post for the day is from @actifit. It's still more interesting than 5 paragraphs on "Courage in Spite of Life's Difficulties." Most things on trending don't seem real. I want to see the human behind steemit. Have more first person interaction. And for god sakes stop posting pictures in the middle of your works! Keep everything together and put a few blurbs under each pic.
I'm trying out posting microblogs. I don't see the point of spending up to an hour writing and editing photos to get maybe one comment and 10 cents in upvotes. With the low price of steem, microblogging might attract more users if the old timers don't give them a hard time about "quality" content.
I noticed that one of my microblogs (one photo and two sentences) has 52 cents in upvotes already.
As for trending, all those posts have either purchased votes, self-voted, voted from second accounts, or whales upvoted each other. Nothing wrong with that, but a lot of the vote-sellers won't allow votes to go to microblogs. Some of the smaller bidbots might not have such restrictions.
