RE: Is this Quality Knowledge I Put Out Not Helpful to Steemit? Flagged for Quality Getting Rewarded?
And then we have whales upvoting ozcharts multiple times a day for content that could probably be generated by AI.
Keep up good work, you are bringing lasting value.
Does it matter if it is generated by AI (or even a random number generator) if it brings users and engagement? Analysis of markets is very popular, there are numerous successful web sites and media outlets catering to that interest, large subcommunities on other social sites devoted to it, and many people give a large amount of their time and attention to it. A large portion of that proven successful approach to content could equally be generated by AI (in fact there was literally an AI project that wrote competent stock market news reports in English).
Long-form philosophy blogging is a tiny niche at best. It is read by almost no one and written by even fewer.
If you want to grow this platform into something other than a (temporary) money fountain for a few of your favorites you really need to refocus on what drives, or has any realistic prospect to drive, mass engagement. This isn't it.
Step out of your myopia please, before there is nothing of any lasting value left here.
So which whales are right? (tragedy of the commons?)
Thanks you for your support once more.
Some people "get it", and some people don't. I'll be talking about this quality issue more. The post yesterday on Reputation Guilds was a good starter to get people to see how things can work differently, and possibly better.
Think about how organizations work in reality, the real world, and then think about how to really make something valuable like that online... quality matters everywhere if you want someone to be interested in what you're offering in terms of monetary value people would actually be willing to pay for. FB and others don't matter for quality, it's only attention based, so anything goes as long as people like/enjoy it. The money investing there comes from ads that target people to buy things from their attention market. It's not investing in a product in Facebook or other sites. There is no product. Steemit has a product, it's the content. Quality matters. (General message, not at "you" Dan)
