RE: Bad poetry online and what we can do about it
I agree with you. I am a beginner on steemit as well and I have found that very low quality content gets upvoted a lot. I also agree that a way to deal with it is recommending great poetry and trying to post good quality stuff ourselves. Now, defining what is good or bad poetry is not something I would attempt to do but I know what you mean.
That's definitely a huuuge part of it. But we need a LOT of people convinced this is important to see it really influence things over time.
It's ultimately a little subjective, but not as subjective as a lot of people think or suggest. There is actually a real thing called quality, beauty, excellence, talent, skill. And there are a lot of things that are obviously bad.
I'm not really on a crusade to root all sprouting creativity out, but it would be wonderful to see a lot of people intentionally using their votes to get quality seen on the platform. In the long run, I think this will benefit everyone--it will even challenge writers to get better!
Thanks so much for joining the conversation on this! Xx, Kay
