Everyone entering to the Steemit have heard this. It is answer to all the questions. Like ”How to be recognized in platform?” ”How to get wealthy in Steemit?”
Post quality content.
Seems simple huh? But if it really would be so easy, wouldn’t we all be buying lambos already? And still there is only a very few lambos laying around with our name on it. There is like... none?
Have you ever looked for the definite meaning of ”quality”?
the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something.
Measured against other things of a similar kind. Let’s think about that for a second. Seems that secret of quality lays in all content. So if 99% of all content is shit and then only 1% can be quality. Measured against other similar content only small percentage can be considered as quality. Let’s think bucket of milk, if we let it set, the cream floats. The cream is considered as quality. There is not much of it, but if you check all the content, the quality rises on top. But what is quality? Is there a common factors?
Quality is subjective thing. It depends from users of that content. Something that is shit for me can be quality for others. You know, someones trash is other ones treasure.
If there is a topic that doesn’t interest me, can I consider it as shit? If something isn’t valuable for me, can it still be valuable?
And when there is content that interests me, for example photographing, is everything related valuable for me. There might be photos that are perfectly taken, every technical detail is perfect. Why do i still consider it as nonsense? Is your content quality only if it is perfectly executed. Or matters the idea behind it more? For me the idea is more valuable. Of course when there is perfectly executed perfect idea it is like hitting a jackpot but there rarely is. We are humans we make mistakes. Can spelling errors ruin the purely awesome idea and opinion? Can technically wrong usage of camera ruin beautifully captured feeling in photograph?
Quality of content or quality of content creator?
I am going to do confession: I usually vote people not so much content. Why is that? Content differs. Sometimes people have something interesting to say sometimes not. Sometimes they tickle my funny bone and sometimes I just think what the fuck are they even trying. But I usually vote them anyway, because I feel that there is quality in that person.
Potential of content matters for me more that already perfect content. I love to see people grow as a content creators, I love to see how they improve their writing skills when creating content with something other than native language. I love to see when artists and photographers grow, how their styles evolves through time. Because, isn’t perfect just boring?
Okay, I know, I’m some what perfectionist with some things myself also, but really, if you are ready, and everything you do is already perfect is there point of doing anything anymore? If you can’t be any better? If you cant grow, if your style doens’t evolve anymore? Is there any point of doing anything?
Quality of being funny
Shit and giggles, jokes, thinks that amuse us, things that tickle our funny bones, can we consider jokes shit if we don’t get them? Is something quality only if it makes us laugh? Or does it count that someone enjoyed making it?
Internet is full of amusing things, but is it shit if we don’t find it amusing ? Or does something stop being quality (and funny) if someone get offended and butt hurt by it?
My personal sense of humor is awful. If I find something funny AF, there is huge probability that someone else finds the exact same thing extremely offending. Which one of us is right then? One laughing or one getting butt hurt?
More is more?
Writing, where lays quality on that? In sickly long posts? In snappy opinions? In being awesome grammar nazi? Is long automatically quality, or can you take the short way out and still be outstanding content creator?
I know that some people love to read freakishly long posts, like the dear 
Summing it up
I have no idea where the quality lays, and I have studied that field of expertise almost 4 years... Sorry if I made you read this far because you thought I was solving that mystery. I’m just trying to cope here like you rest, and having fun while doing it! Sometimes I make something I think is quality, sometimes I make things just for fun, sometimes I also do things even I consider as shit posts. My content is anything but consistent. Does that make me shitty content creator?
How about this post, is this quality or not? I let you decide, as it is your decision to make as a content consumer.
