RE: Hey Steemit... You Down With OPC? (Other People's Content) | What type of content should be posted on Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

I forget if it was this post or the guys who I resteemed but I made a comment that someone had posted a Mike Rowe independence day speech I really enjoyed and would have never seen had he not posted it so I definately find value in that.

I think personally speaking to get my upvote someone at least needs to add some commentary about why they thought that content was worth reposting. If they simply paste in a New York Times article or Youtube video with no context or no opinion of their own I'm probably not going to upvote it

Everyone develops a keen sense for spam on Steemit. It’s definitely wise to dress up a YT embed with a personal blurb. Same goes for images, relaying news events, etc.

I’m sure as a YTer, you realize how important title/thumb/first line is in the feed. I think it’s critical to start there for signaling “this isn’t spam”. The savvy veterans here work a Steemit logo into everything (incl. clothing and coffee mugs!).

Hey gigafart thanks for the comment buddy. Yeah I kind of got the sense that Steemit is like Reddit in that spam isn't looked upon favorably and that the site kind of polices itself.

I gotta up my thumnail game. On Youtube I use tubebuddy to make my thumbs so I'll have to find some program or something for here. I play around with Canva but I'm not really crazy about their fonts.
