Yes, people have different interests.
Yes, not all posts need to add value to the ecosystem or educate about HIVE.
Yes, people can decide what has value.
We agree on all points my friend.
I (Alex Rourke) choose to carefully seek to promote and give preference (with a higher upvote) to content that elevates visibility, understanding, value, use-cases of our ecosystem. I believe this builds culture.
Yep, as the first line in my first comment says, I agree with a lot of what you said. There were some confusion, but I'm glad we sorted that out.
As for what you want to happen for those specific posts, I would suggest creating a group or make them use a tag, create a curation trail, and have them upvote those types of posts with the tag. This is similar to how other communities do it.
