About two dozen people in the wide world give a flung turd what I do. The more effort I put in, the less interest I generate. I almost always try to add something, but it makes no real difference, if votes and views are any guide.

I hear ya on that. The weirdest stuff gets noticed. Ramen post? Tons of upvotes.
Post actually describing how and why i become homeless? Much less.
Though that ramen post got picked up by @sykochica, so it got a lot more eyeballs on it! I'm very appreciative of that, it's just weird how the post that took more effort gets less recognition. Which seems inherent to the human condition. Otherwise clickbait would never have become a thing in the first place. Facebook became Facebook because of the people of Facebook, it didn't start out that way.
All too true, maybe all of this desire to convert more people to Steemit is misguided, and we should be hoping for the idiots to give us a pass while the smart ones find their way here.
In the future we will all use the mute and flag function. Until then I try to avoid doing so. Stay cool people.
As far as the post with a lone video and no comments goes, There are a few people I follow because they do just that. I follow them because they are good current events curators, no commentary necessary. It's not nearly as infuriating to me as the brief glance, about once a week, that I give the trending page. About one post in twenty there has any real value at all. I guess it's about who you know.
