This is something I have spoken of many times before, the time constraints I am faced with and how it plays into my creation on Steem.

There is a mindset that quality beats quantity here on the platform, for the most part it’s correct. Yet we look at many larger accounts notorious for, I don’t like this term, “shitposting” raking in the rewards. It’s a weird dynamic where the history of your account constitutes forgiveness for the activities we would consider spammy for new accounts.

I find myself constantly walking the line, consistency in posting vs quality of posts. Keeping a wide stance with one foot firmly on either side of the line is the only way I am comfortable moving forwards under my time constraints.

I do a lot but I also do as little as possible, my effort comes out most in the videos I create. The things I do on chain which are simple and quick I don’t expect the same level of support as the larger effort things.

I do this because my blog is more an outlet to me than it is an earning mechanism. I write when I feel like writing, edit photos when I feel like doing that, record a blog when I feel like I have something worth being heard. The “feel” also must play around the time I have available.

Often I find myself choosing to create a quick photo recap and upload to Instagram using @share2steem making it a Steem post rather than searching for a topic to create an entire vlog for DTube. Though that DTube post may look simple the time it takes makes it the largest effort I put out on a regular basis!
