RE: Dear Steemit, Discovering Your Site Provides Hope—It's Time to Listen to the Blockchain Generation and End the Fading Business Model of Facebook
Welcome to Steemit! It's good to have you here.
I'm interested in the topics that you plan on writing about. Especially "Writing and editing as a discipline".
I look forward to your future posts, @futurehuman
Thanks, Matthew. Yes, writing as a discipline seems to have suffered during the internet 2.0 years. Steemit's setup can help to reverse that trend by enabling the community to reward high quality.
I do think that the nature of reading and writing has changed, to some degree. For example, shorter well written posts or posts that are broken into clearly defined chunks may do better than lengthy essays.
I agree, it can be hard to keep people's attention for longer pieces online. It helps if an article has subheadings and picture captions--so the reader can scan and read jut the parts of interest.
