The value in a post is in its desire and effort. Nothing to do with 'quality'. Steemit gives a chance for whom a few cents is the difference between eating or not, buying a bit of medicine or suffering in pain.
A lot of the ulog posts have very little to interest an audience, but that's not the point. As long as they are honest they have value. Even if its only to the person that created them.
Anything that shows life truthfully and has the potential to be seen by millions can go towards helping us all understand how each other live, hopefully creating harmony through respect.
Always there will be people attempting to make a fast buck with spam and scam, but notice how most of these people are from places where life is really hard.
People who scam and cheat and actually make a lot of money from doing so are generally from countries that aren't so impoverished.
On this platform I'm afraid to say, like in 'real' life, money goes to money. If you or I already had 0.5m USD to invest in Steem, we'd already be rich but more importantly, our ability to make a whole lot more money here everyday would be massive...look at the top of trending today.
But to empower the many, who really need help, we need one of these already rich to share it amongst the lowly, financially and through education encouragement and engagement. The platform is too old now for someone to start at zero and build a regular income alone, thats why the @surpassinggoogle s of this world are so important, there needs to hundreds of him. Problem is, as I keep pointing out to the Libertarians here, the 'freedom' they waffle on about shouldn't come at the loss of empathy and altruism, which in my opinion it does.
Now you stop being so fucking morose and post something happy tomorrow little kuya ;-)

PS what are you doing up at this time ? Been on a date ? ;-)
