No, if that's the trade-off, I don't want either speed or scalability issues.
Yes, quality is subjective. And you changed the approach about number of posts. But nonetheless, from stats there is an average of 40-50 thousands active accounts daily (maybe a little more if my memory doesn't serve me well). Not 1 million, regardless if the total number may be close to that number.
Maybe the solution would be to get more of those sleeper accounts active again?
And 10 articles daily would be unnoticeable at current number of posts as well. There are probably much more than that. Plus the comment farming, spamming, etc.
I never professed there were 1M posts on here.....I was saying IF there were 1M posts on here, 10 posts would not be an issue.
I do agree the inactive accounts waking it would be great help. There are over 750K people signed up (how many are real versus bots/dup accounts is anyone's guess)...getting even 200K of them to start posting would go a long way to helping the issue.
Part of the solution in more people is streamlining the sign up process which I understand is being worked on.
So we might see a difference in 2-4 weeks.
Yeah, that's what I've heard too about the ETA on the sign up process improvements.
I remain with the hope that at least some of the new comers will be interested in the content, whatever its source app may it be.
Ultimately, you will have a mixture.
There will be many who come on here and spew all that is going on in their lives including when the dog crapped on the floor. Then others will have serious aspirations in terms of the content created.
Personally, I am not into creating Memes or really even seeing them...but DMania is a big application for many.
And as we saw with the cryptokitties and pokeman games, sometimes what we would consider a bit dopey takes off and is embraced by the masses.
Personally, from a STEEM holder perspective, I hope there is our version of cryptokitty on here with it generating millions of transactions a day....as silly as it might be, it is good business for STEEM holders.
Oh, don't get me wrong! I'm ok with any kind of content which has a genuine consumer. Hopefully with the communities we will be able to disseminate better what type of content we want to see.
What I'm not ok with is someone mimicking content creation of any type and which has no audience just so he or she can collect rewards. That plus the usual spam, but I believe that can be overlooked easier, if it isn't overwhelming.
