My recent posts were about programming, because programming is something that I take a great interest in. However, it seems that my English Idioms posts were more popular. Of course, that is not surprising, because the English language is a more popular subject than programming for the general audience.
I am trying to create some posts on more general topics, so that they can be useful for a larger percentage of readers. This post is one of them.
I think we should aim at creating a fruitful and pleasant experience for the readers of our Steemit blogs. The more effort we put in, the more value we can create for the reader. An amazing characteristic of the Steemit community, and the general public for that matter, is that there are various kinds of opinions and perspectives. So there is no single norm—there is a spectrum of interests and viewpoints.
Consequently, the point of this post is that the usefulness of a post is not just how much information is put into it, but how much utility it creates for the reader. This is an important consideration, because these two aspects are not always proportional to each other. You may put a lot of effort in a post, but it may not be very useful for the audience, and vice versa.
