RE: Moving to hive
The problem is ... Mediocrity rules Steem... have you seen the content people post? it's utter garbage ... i literally can't find more garbage in a land fill.... steem has taken all the garbage.
i fully agree it needs better content ...
the content on Facebook and Instagram is so much more solid.
I miss Hotdog Legs and pics of people in their shitty apartment mirrors
haha lol that's funny! yeah IG is more established ... i think that will eventually happen on Steem it will take some time
hopefully by this summer, we can have the top paying posts be a bunch of hot dog legs and pool pictures. that will get us up to standard with the rest of the social media content available out there.
on a serious note, I don't think we fully really utilized or comprehended the power and potential of an uncensored and democratized publishing platform, but I am excited for the future.
I kind of disagree. I don´t think Steemit generates garbage by itself. It is a large group of user that are in the business of transforming garbage into silver. And the Onwer of the Posts are the one responsible for Upvoting them, so incentivizing them to throw in more garbage.
At the beginning I was reluctant and no believer of Steemit due to the amount of garbage I then saw. However I saw a Great Potential as Free Publishing Platform as medium to do my work. I told myself: Well, a lot of people generate garbage and lot eat them too, but I an not run into that in expectation of milking de cow. I am going to concentrate doing my work. And that is what I did.
Since 2 week ago, I have being doing my work, but all of the sudden I started to see cash flow from Steemit. Even I was touched by a Whale, and now, I am defining myself as Blogger over what I do work. I reach the point of taking the Challenge of being Locutus of Steemit rather than of Borg
This is how I feel about steemit. I see Potential & Future, despite tons of garbage and crap thinking.
By the way, before knowing what steemit was, I thought it was a magazine. Everytime I was looking for something a steemit post pup up with the answer. It was latter I realized it was not a magazine. This example or experience of mind tells that good quality content matters and it is a powerful attractor.
In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, an attractor is a set of numerical values toward which a system tends to evolve, for a wide variety of starting conditions of the system. System values that get close enough to the attractor values remain close even if slightly disturbed.

I have to ask - do you not realize how @berniesanders is playing you all for a fool - read this post and then decide who is really raping the rewards pool. I can not believe you people do not know what he does and how bad he is for steemit! At least take a couple min to read this, your going to be shocked that you ever backed @berniesanders when you actually see proof of what he does. After you read this please post it so it can be seen. It is sad to see this happening to such a wonderful platform. Please care enough to at least check this post out...

Not all of us post garbage.
I agree...
Good, because I tend to get a little bit defensive when I hear some of you folks say that, constantly. (Doesn't help things either when I go look at your blog and notice how you posted only one frickin' paragraph in your publication about four hours ago.)
Have a good day!
a pictures says 1000 words...(i have shot nike ads, bmw, mercedes, and many more) I am a cinematographer and work in the film industry ... i can't post pictures from movies sets because of contracts, i post images i take...
i didn't check your blog....
Also you are missing the point of the entire conversation ...
I am not raping the steem pool... you should probably read the blog you are commenting on before getting defensive...
everyone on here is a keyboard warrior ...
have a good day...
"Everyone on here is a keyboard warrior..."
No, just like not everyone here posts garbage.
Your post after the one I mentioned with the paragraph, was two bloody sentences.
Have a nice day.
I like the whole slipping in Name dropping on a post where thousands are reading it....My Photography is totally famous, "Phone that Fell in the Toilet Photography LLC"
Good for me!
You gotta search a bit, but you can find it :)
That's the main problem. We need some kind of search engine and filters.
I only joined a couple weeks ago to check it out, and I fully agree. About 98% of this site is trash posts. It's tough to find decent content as well.
Unfortunately it takes time to find the better content producers. If you stick at it you will eventually find them. I don't even look at "new" posts any more. I find content from the people I follow.
But have you seen this lol

I agree that there is a ton of mediocre content on steemit, but there is also some quality content that is original. You need to look in the more abstract sections. If you sift through the pond scum, what do you expect to find???
If you can share some tags that are worth checking out, I'm more than happy to take a look. Finding good, original content here is painful.
Try openmic
Its a weekly competition in which talented people share their work.
Thanks for the tip!
To be honest this kind of content is everywhere on other social media giants like Facebook, Twitter etc. but because of the limited users on Steemit, it's more prominent. I agree though most of the content produced on steem is very half arsed.
I read tons of interesting and well-written articles everyday. And I usually spend hours on my own articles.
I'm a total noob here, so please correct me or add nuance if needed, but if garbage trends to the top, then isn't that our own fault for not being better curators? Let's search for the rose among the thorns (or diamond in the rough, needle in the haystack, or whatever other similar metaphor you prefer) and up-vote those mo-foes ;)
