I think that generally people’s thinking process is too bound by a convention. Or to analogy to prior experiences. So it’s rare that people will think of something on a first principle basis. They would say: “We’ll do this because it’s always been done that way”. Or - they would not do it because “nobody has ever done this”, so “it must not be good!”.
But that’s just a ridiculous way to think.
Because, you have to build up ignorance from the ground up. From “first principles”, as a phrase that has been used in physics. Just look at the fundamentals and construct your reasoning from that. And then see if you can have a conclusion that works, may work or may not work, and may or may not be different from what the people have done in the past. And it’s harder to think this way.

I can’t resist without noticing how some of the well money-steemed posts just have no juice inside. My intention is not to create some kind of steemit blacklist, so i won’t be pointing a finger. Or maybe should I? I can think of a few... Or more.
Is such a list legit? Is it legal? It certainly isn’t moral? Nobody likes to be blacklisted. What do you think? Is it a democratic freedom at least? A political suicide?
So let us be honest. I don’t wanna see steemit creating a human-bots (just copy, paste, comment unread post, like, follow, bingo-money). Be personal. Add yourself to the story. And the most important - have a meaning. And bare in mind that I’ve shared with you my own, very personal, very meaningful photo of my youngest son (that I took with a good old manual lens).
So my main question for you is how should steem promote original work or a genuine art as opposed to waste of time - yours or mine.
I would greatly appreciate to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
