Agreed. I don't believe this is the standard that should be set as a highly valued post. It's not terrible, but I also do see the point where it should receive quite as much money as it has.
I don't think this is the case, but I think it is very important to make sure only great content is upvoted. Fuck whose name is on it. Just because it's a whale doesn't mean you should upvote and not read and get your .001 Steem power.
Everyone should have their content looked at before being voted on. To not do so in unfair to both the author and voter. Great content will not likely continue to be created if the precedent is set at a few pictures and a paragraph.
I'm not even jealous that it made a lot. If I thought it deserved it, like your last post @klye then that is a different story. Hopefully in the future more rewards will be given to people who spend more time crafting things that are likely to only be seen on steemit.

"Fuck whose name is on it."
I like this sentence. Not because it's vulgar but because it speaks what I feel true.
I appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your feedback and thoughts on the matter.
We are a community. We must be aware as a community in order to fully reach our potential.
I tend to not be extremely vulgar, but there has been a few things today that I've seen that were so selfish that it got to me a bit and @stellabelle breaking loose opened the dam.
I feel that certain language emphasizes points. If you use any word too frequently it loses its meaning, but sometimes adding a four letter word can add to a point. But I feel sometimes people vote on a name before they even read the article. Maybe a time period should be set once you click on an article so people have to stay on an article x number of minutes before they can vote.
I agree with you there. While I'm not one to promote complete lunacy and potty mouth at all times I do believe as adults on a platform we shouldn't fear using the odd foul word in fear of punishment.
Absolutely. It is funny that there have been no very young people on steemit. I guess since it is not really a kid friendly place that kids might get easily bored because of their instant gratification short attention span. Snapchat and ig do so well because of this I think.
@bendjmiller222 Amen to " but I think it is very important to make sure only great content is upvoted"
Thanks @englishtchrivy. I don't even believe in always voting on friends work. Sometimes your friends need to be called out when they are not producing the quality of work that you think they should be. I don't want upvotes unless I deserve them. Otherwise I am only hurting steemit long term.
