RE: I'm Not Going To Work On a Post For Hours.. (Ever)
There's pretty much NO market for "great writing." I learned that back in creative writing courses in college, in the early 1980's... for one class, we had a field trip to a bookstore where the "assignment" was to find high quality writing, and compare how much "high quality" ("Literature") writing we found, as a ratio of all books in the store. About 2%. And that was generous, because it was a college bookstore with educational texts.
I'm a proponent of adding value. Which is a pretty broad concept... a picture of a beach with no context adds ZERO value for me, a picture of the same beach with "This was my favorite beach during our 2013 trip to Greece" as the caption probably does.
I like the way you say that. I've been saying engagement. But I think adds value is even better. :)
I agree with your example as well.
I like "engagement," too... as long as engagement is also about the content being interesting enough that I want to engage with it.
My big no-no's are zero originality, zero effort posts. If the OP can't be bothered, why should I be bothered... the whole expectation of "something for nothing" bugs me.
