I agree @elementm. I've written short posts that have a lot behind them.
I would hate to see Steemit get all authoritarian with posts. This is a place for self expression.

I agree about self expression. I think that there's a bit of a bias towards longer article style posts. I don't mind larger rewards going out to authors of lengthier high quality content but there shouldn't be an assumption that shorter posts can't have worth too. Plus, I think it's been proven that the link between post quality and rewards isn't quite as strong as it should be anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯ .
True. For me, if there's a reason for the post, if it's inspired, if it's inspiring, if I got something from it, if I enjoyed it, I upvote. Doesn't matter if it's three sentences. There can be a lot of all that in those three sentences. I feel like we're trying to abolish the scarcity mentality and also the idea of "work" here on the Steemit blockchain. Still some people believe people should have to work hard to earn Steem. Both old, tired concepts not in line with this ecosystem.
Indeed! There will come a time when we're paid just for our attention but until then, if three sentences or a funny doodle add value to my day, they're going to get an upvote from me.
