I've been thinking that it's a shame that there is so little recognition for our posts that so many put their heart into;
and new people to steemit I feel have no chance.
I spent months on steemit at first with not a reply or a penny made for my first posts.
I have no idea really why I've kept on writing, maybe because I write and it's an outlet, and I have a following on other sites like fb and wordpress and twitter and etc etc.. I'm certainly not on steemit for the money, that's for sure.
Someone said to me that I should be working on my content and expanding my network, so I said back: been doing that from the start; used to get around 10 to 20 followers a day, but now I'm lucky to get one more each week.
One day I upvoted everyone on PHC, and hardly got a reply or an upvote back. It almost feels like I live in a dark hole that's soundproof; and maybe that's steemit for you.
Don't know what's going on on binance, but yesterday I had 900700 btt, and today I have well over a million; and didn't have any pundi x yesterday, but today I've got loads; and right now holo is on a big going upwards.
Maybe I should get a bottle of wine.
I feel it's disheartening not to be recognised for what I put my heart into; surely I'm not the only one that does what I do; but then again, maybe I'm unique...
Don't know about dapps and apps, but a fair reward system for good content might be nice, I said to Dan on twitter and his reply was to send me a link for here...
I know that content in a post is a bit like art, or music, say jazz, where the receiver is experiencing it from their point of view, and one persons point of view is grounded in their life experience which is always unique; so in a way, good content may never get what it deserves; it can only be measured by whoever reads it from their perspective in life. In fact, someone like J K Rowling, or Stephen King could be writing works in steemit and not getting anywhere at all, they might be getting 30 cents a day for their posts, like me.
I find it strange that posts that have content less engaging get huge rewards.
I know most of what anyone reads is subjective, and perhaps it is mostly like goes to like.
J D Salinger, if he was still here would most likely be called a weirdo and have hardly a read.
I do believe that someone like Richard Brautigan would be laughed at.
My mind is not working tonight
Nothing comes to me
That i look for
In it...
What is, or what makes good content in a post?
Can anyone tell me?
