RE: The Nebulous Mystery of "Adding Value" as a Content Creator
Thanks for the mention @stef1, you are spot on. Had to read all haha, so here are my thoughts.
Agreed @denmarkguy
content can be considered a bit like shops
I think it makes sense, I don't have time to check out thousands of blogs a day, so yes, whatever catches my attention or field of interest, I would check out. How to determine value = the most valuable thing in life is time = I wouldn't waste 2 minutes on a crappy photo, but I would easily enjoy an amazing photo for many more minutes = it's valuable to me, it might not be to someone else, that's okay, there are thousands of windows to look at and you'll probably find something you like = value for you.
And @stef I agree, 300 words is bullshit, value is what you get from the post not the amount of words. I want to say a trader who just posts one picture of a chart and he has 90% win ratio, in other words by following his trading ideas and you earn 500% ROI in a year, that's value regardless of the number of words or photos.
But I think in the end that the most valuable is not what you post, but the person's personality, the relationship, the friendship is more valuable in itself.
I just don't think there is some easy formula that can be applied @digi-me, it's all very fluid and subjective.
However, I do agree with the idea of looking at it as "was this time I spent with this piece of content worth my time?"
And yes, ultimately social media is also about relationships and connections.
Agreed, the value may differ from the eyes of the beholder. :)
I completely agree with that:
It is similar to our real life situation, some people have a lot of friends but others not. When I was young I noticed that and understood that it is important to treat others how we want to be treated myself and that is the key. Here, after few years on being on Steemit we already know what to expect from each other. It was very nice to read your comment, I am always glad when I can make you to express your thoughts and your point of you. Thank you :)
Nice to here. Thank you ;)
