I've seen this one going around a few times. I'm not sure who posted the original thread so I'm sorry that I can't call you out but I thought I'd put my two cents in.
How many times is the correct amount of times to post per day?

Well there used to be kind of a throttle on it. If you posted more than four times per day something bad happened. Honestly I'm not even sure what it was, but they put the four post per day limit in place so that people wouldn't take advantage of the system.
Of course we were not working with linear rewards back then so things worked very differently. I know back then most people were using Steemvoter to curate but I don't think there's nearly as much of that kind of curation going on now.
For about one year's time I was posting four times every single day. I did think that four times was the absolute correct amount of times to post. Lately I've only been posting twice per day but I'll tell you what...... I think I'm going to go back to posting four times per day.
My thought process as I posted twice per day was that every post should be perfect. As I've increase in reputation the posts that I put out should be the highest quality available.
However, that does not make things fun for me.
Steemit should be about having fun.
Therefore, I say post as many times per day as you want. If you know you've got followers on Steemvoter or some other system that are automatically upvoting you then maybe you should limit it to about four times, or however many times they expect you to post.
As for me, I think I'll be going back to posting four times like I used to. Not every post will be great. I will do some of the color challenges and other types of challenges that I personally enjoy even if they aren't perfect.
Have fun on Steemit. If you want to post one time per day or even zero times per day then do that.
If you want to post five times or even ten times per day I don't think anyone's going to have a problem with that unless you've got a lot of Auto followers. In that case you might want to check before you attempt that.
However, if you want to know the perfect amount of times for posting I think four is a good amount.
It's what I'm going back to.
Have fun!
Post when you want.
Post about what you want.
We aren't here to please people. If they want to upvote you, then that's great but don't go fishing.
Just post what you think is great. Or even just what you want to post that isn't great.
It doesn't matter.
Just do you.
