The people who are producing the most repetitive content on Steem earn the most 'recognition'
This is an important point about social media and media in general. The reason I became interested in bloggers around the turn of the century was that they wrote about themselves so you could get to know them as a person, even when they focused on one topic. And in a more natural way than columnists used to do. I hope we haven't lost that spirit yet.
I agree with your opinion about Twitter, although I'm active there. Someday I'll write a blog about 'cancel culture' on Crypto Twitter after watching a 100 minute video analyzing an online witch hunt in the transgender community.
Ouf, not sure if I'm going to watch those 100 minutes, but I have to say I've seen so much that I might have an idea what your post will be about - curious to read it for sure, there's an interesting and often not productive way of engaging going on on Twitter, and I hope we'll stay far away from that here on Steem.
And yes @edb, bloggers are fascinating, I first started blogging 17 years ago (!) when the word blog wasn't even in the dictionary yet. Always loved the engaging, the 'looks into someone else's life', and the authenticity that came with it, way different from all the other content that's often following a very narrow format.
Thanks for commenting :-)
