I am not a huge fan of this 4 post per day thing, I get it's to combat spam. But is this the best that Steemit can do ?
4 Posts A Day Is Generous
When I first heard about this rule, I got terrified. But I felt releif when it was a 4 post limit. Four posts gives you a lot to talk about and post.
It's the Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner posts, And heck you can finish your night with dessert even.
It Gives you wiggle room, If you feel like posting something long, or short. You can do 2 shorts and 2 longs, Or mix it up in any fashion.
My addiction To Steemit Hates This Rule
I find myself staring at my blog, Looking at the hours

As soon as it hits the 24, I feel a sense of relief. One of my posts has "expired" I can come up with something new to write.
But lets be honest here, I feel almost like a little kid waiting for a snack.
I can't have it right now, But I can have it in an hour.
Pros of this rule
- Keeps the Spammers at bay,
- Gives everyone a more fair chance.
- Possibly increases the curation rewards for some people, Because they are more likely to be noticed.
- It helps readers find the higher quality content quicker.
Cons of this rule
- Somewhat restrictive. On days where I write a lot it kind of sucks, I have to store future articles in my Evernote for future use.
- For people who like to write more than read, It may cause them to spend less time on Steemit.
- For people who would rather read, Than write. It may also cause them to spend less time on Steemit, Because less variety may be posted by certain people.
Possible Solution
Base reputation number on how many posts you are allowed per day, Before the new alogrthim chimes in.
This gives higher quality Steemit people more flexibility on how many they can post and how often. Some of us may not even hit the 4 posts a day on a regular basis. But if you have a huge amount of ideas one day, Wouldn't be nice to post a bit extra?
Pros of this
- Gives people with a better reputation more posting power.
- Makes things more flexible with those people so they can post when they want easier.
- Allows people with lots of ideas make lots of posts in one day about a variety of subjects as necessary.
- Gives readers a larger blend of short articles and longer articles.
Cons of this
- Your typical "rich get richer" kind of thing, The Have nots, have even less chances to move up in the Steemit community.
- Less exposure to people who post less, Unless of course their post goes viral much faster.
What do you think of all of this? It's just some ideas I"ve been juggling in my mind.
I'm so proud and happy that I'm an (8) But at the same time, I wonder how much of a difference it makes overall. I would love that extra posting power.
Here is a painting I did of a minnow! Hahahah A perfect way to end this post
