There is no demonization of those who actively promote and campaign for ‘quality content’ . You probably still didn't get the point which I was trying to make. Let me try to be as clear as possible about it as I can.
Instead of demanding quality from those who don't have the ability to offer it, or participating in such activities in general. The quality maximalists should work on ways of discovering that great, quality content.
Because there is plenty of it here. There are so many under the radar authors on here that produce the quality content you are looking for yet, they hardly get any exposure. Instead of demanding everyone to get on that level of quality, it's our job to find that content and push it up.
We can't do it. Shit comes up to trending and everyone is butthurt because of it.
What you are demanding is a consequence of the innability of the community or the system to find and adequately reward quality content thus, pushing it to trending where everyone can enjoy it.
That's the real issue.
The demand on quality has been here for the long time and it's strong enough. Curation projects that rewar based on "quality" are a big help here. Those who will want to create that quality content will do it on their own. There is no need for further encouragement. On the other hand, those that will shitpost will do it no matter what you do or say.
What's the point then?
It’s already being done and I think it’s being done well by projects like @curie and @c-squared. The problem is that many of the high stake voters don’t manually curate content for themselves, and that’s not a problem that ‘quality maximalists’ can solve.
I deep dive the #writing, #story and #fiction tags daily and often come up empty. There’s a lot of writers, yes, but nothing exceptional or breaking the mold. If you disagree, that’s your prerogative but the fact is that the majority of authors here, myself included probably, are mediocre at best.
I’m working on the shitpost side, particularly with mistagged content. I have a potential solution that I’m trying to get off the ground. Standby for that.
Anything else? I’m trying to make it clear that we’re on the same side, but see two different problems for the same issue.
