RE: Announcing Steem Guild, a second stage project to continue supporting good authors after Project Curie
So you're going to help people who post good content if it is family friendly? Controversial content is what we need, not fluff pieces that makes everyone feel warm inside. This has potential to create a main stream media type of speech control that would push smart people saying unpopular things more underground and push those who are just spouting talking points and making generic content just for the sake of getting money when the real incentive should be to create good content, getting paid then is even more fulfilling because your controversial ideas being appreciated says a lot more than pictures of your cat being appreciated
Not necessarily 'fluff pieces'. I've benefitted from the #curie project and been very grateful for the help and support from various places but I don't consider my writing as 'fluff pieces'.
I think what's being said is the controversial pieces generate their own publicity and following and will therefore, never need the help of the #curie or #steem-guild curators.
That isn't true necessarily, my anti political rants don't generate views and money lol
