RE: Determination or Genius? What Does it TAKE to Succeed as a Writer?
I used to use the words "quality content", but realized it's too vague. What I mean by "quality content" is QUALITY KNOWLEDGE or INFORMATION. The "quality writing" isn't much of a concern for me that much. The info, knowledge, being of a quality of importance in life, is what matters.
Agreed!
"Quality" is an amalgam of many things. As you suggest, there has to be a "takeaway" of some value. The best recipe ever for vegetarian curry has value. A new psychological insight has value. A great instructional on some topic has value. "Quality" is added if these also have a high level of usability; they read easily and intuitively.
Beyond that, I expect a certain amount of originality and insight. That's one of my issues with memes getting paid huge rewards... yes, a funny meme may have "value" (as a quick laugh) but I can only give it "quality" if it was your own idea and YOU created it. The 46th recycling of the exact same meme from the web has little value. At least to me. Lacks any kind of originality, and "involvement" by the poster.
Memes are very low on the quality spectrum, with little lasting value and usability. Steem has many issues, still, they seem to increase not decrease lol :P
