Sorry but I can't agree with you placing formatting at the first place on any list!
FORMATTING HAS NOTHING WITH QUALITY OF THE POST!
It is just make up! I find hundreds of posts every day with nice looking posts but with totally shitty content! And I don't agree that plagiarism, stealing, tag abuse are in "shitpost" category. Those are actually much bigger problems but not shitposts. I kinda didn't expect to read this from you, cause you know to appreciate the quality but this post is mostly about how to make any content look nice and misconceptions about what shitposts really are (entries, spam content, memes, quick charts...)
In first two lines, he gave the definition of shitpost like you said- "A post that offers no value to anyone or anything made with minimum effort, least information and research."
The rest is mostly tips how to improve your post that has some quality
It is nice to have neat and visually beautiful blog post but that definitely doesn't make it not-shitpost
Actually great formatting is what sells shitposts. Check my post from months ago https://steemit.com/whysoserious/@dumar022/shitposts-now-and-forever
I agree with what u write about. I can't say I know the real meaning of the "shitpost" word but I would define it as a post without any value to it. (I am getting philosophical haha) . Visual stimulants will still not give it value, true. I would say everyone agrees with it. But these tips and trick described here IMPROVE the overall quality of the post, but they do not create quality (There are already hundreds of posts on this topic describing the exact same things).
Now my personal opinion on this topic is that many people consider memes or other short posts shitposts, I don't know, if they are funny, if they have brighten up my day, for me that is a good read, regardless under which name they go
I appreciate this text as a guide to improve any post, I just don't agree about shitposts
Thank you for explaining. :) @spalatino
I think we have different opinions on this matter, I find memes, well, good memes - not shitpost. I didn't make this post to insult anyone, just to help shitposters get better.
Well, that was my intention, now I can't control anybody's actions. If shitposters want to improve they will follow the tips, and I didn't say anywhere proper formatting makes shitpost a good post.
I just gave tips that would help shitposter on the path to writing quality content. Thank you for your argument though, I can see where you're coming from but our opinions are just different, and that's okay, if we agreed on everything we'd be the same person :)
Well, you did a nice thing!
But I didn't made up the term of shitposts, it is widely known what shitposts are.

So other types of posts that I don't like, I don't consider them as shitposts, I just call them differently
Thank, I guess I misinterpreted "shitposting" thanks for clarifying.
I know for future now :)
