I have to agree. Focus on what yore trying to express. The rewards will follow naturally. It is SO obvious who the people are that are just cranking out mindless content to chase to rewards. And it is very unattractive. Tho, if they arnt rewarded, they will most likely fade out fairly quickly. Thanks for making an effort.

so true!
Thanks for the support :)
I have to disagree to some extent. Sure, pandering to people will get you the rewards but it'll ultimately create a circle jerk. People should write about what interests them and what they're passionate about rather than what they think will make them the most money.
Very well said.
well see,
the point is not to pander haha. I agree with you on that.
its to take what we care about and frame it in a way that other people can care too.
We can all say that we're just here to make friends or learn about steem,
but at the root- most people are here because of the reward.
otherwise we'd all be on wordpress.
when asking for money, which we all are in an indirect way, you need to appeal to the person who has the power to give it to you.
If those people with the power all have basically the same interests though, people will post stuff based on those interests in order to get a reward from them. Over time, it'll create a runaway effect where only those interests gain visibility and rewards.
If this platform is to take off, it needs diversity of opinion and it requires heated arguments instead of backslapping in an echo chamber.
you know what, i respect it man.
But remember i also said know your audience.
I know there are some people who are on here for different reasons and dont care about this article. It may not even apply to them.
This was targeted towards people who were struggling to understand how to convey value in their posts. which leads to a complex debate on what is value.
I usually go for perceived value
