THE TRUTH ABOUT SHIT POSTING
You will come accross the term "Shit Posting" on Steemit from time to time but what exactly does it mean?
Well the term "Shit Posting" is really nothing more than just a members opinion. Because all that is happening is that they are judging what is good or bad content, the question is what qualifies their opinion?
You can argue that if you post a picture that links to your site then that is "Shit Posting" but you have to look further than the content, you need to see if there is a strategy around the way the member is posting.
Steemit is a blogging social yet we see lot's of posts that are generally just an image with a few lines of text. Is that Shit Posting? No of course not.
Perhaps whoever just isn't good with words, perhaps there is a language barrier. If the image is great who cares that there is no text or reasoning for the post. Ok yes in an ideal world the creator would tell us about what they have created so that engagement happens.
Does Shit Posting exist? Yes
If you are going to post and say something like "come join my latest biz blah blah" then for me that is shit posting, but then that is only my opinion. I don't then flag that post or comment that it is "Shit Posting", that is just causing drama. Instead I just unfollow and move on. And by managing my feed like this I can create a feed where I see only what I consider good content.

I think there are some things that are "universally" considered a "shit post" I wrote a comedic interpretation of it a little more than a week ago. But overall you're absolutely right, it's a matter of interpretation.
I love that people who are bad with English try to build a greater audience by trying the unfamiliar language, on the same hand I love when they write in their native language. A compelling picture or topic might inspire me to go use Google to translate it.
