RE: OPEN LETTER TO STEEMIT INC., THE WITNESSES, AND THE WHALES
I agree with bringing back the limit of 4 posts. 100% agree.
I've been here since September of 2016. I've seen how many different bloggers from all walks of life run their blogs here.
Majority of those who take their work seriously here and on other blogging platforms, including places like Youtube, work hard to be able to produce one blog/vlog per day. Offering the opportunity to earn from 4 posts in one day is being incredibly generous. Most will not be able to fill that quota, but some certainly can and will.
This would also improve the quality of what we see out there while browsing. People will want to put more effort into their posts rather than simply throwing random posts out there just to see what sticks. We'd see less spam as well.
Having fewer posts to choose from also gives bloggers more visibility. If they're working hard, after they press the post button, their post isn't lost in a sea of thousands of people attempting to churn out ten low quality posts per day.
It's a great idea to put this 4 post limit back in place and many of us have already seen how well it works. It was a bad idea to remove that limit. We tried it, we see abuse, the 4 post limit worked, so let's bring it back.
Sheeesh!
Despite that, I totally agree - I can barely kick out 1 post a day.
100 % agree.
Original and quality posts need some time!
At the moment posting daily a lot of unoriginal memes, getting vots from votingbots and then get the dmania vote gets good rewards on steemit.
That is not how to support good qualitiy content!
That is how to support spam!
I wrote a lengthier response in another comment about why the 4 post limit isn’t really workable, but your comment brings up another point.
I think it’s past time that Steemit begins to filter content to only things posted from Steemit. Many people who are upset about post quality & frequency don’t necessarily realize its coming from elsewhere. Steemit shouldn’t be throwing everything from Zappl, Steepshot, ChainBB, dMania, etc. into one feed. This would improve visibility for “high quality” posts if Steemit is going to define itself as a blogging platform.
They could simply place Zappl, Steepshot, ChainBB, dMania, etc. tabs or feeds on a home page. It can still be on Steemit, just organized.
Agreed! I even posted a mock-up 10 months ago beginning to imagine a “widgetized” page when just Zappl and Steepshot were on the horizon.
I still hope a direction like this will happen. Clearly Steemit at least has plans to further develop the current sidebar areas.
My man!
Seconded.
