Oh, man, I feel you @hustletoparadise. Looking through the "new" tab always makes me lose a little faith in humanity because it mostly reflects two things:

1. Most people these days are just lazy and greedy and want instant results with minimal effort.
2. A lot of people have zero imagination or creativity to craft an even half-decent post.

Sometimes is both!

I have encountered tons of shitposts that consist of a single meme image or embeded video copied from somewhere else, without a single line of commentary or anything. Or posts that seem written by an unintelligent six year old, that read more like a FB status than a post for Steemit. On the other hand, sometimes I find something that looks like a nicely written, interesting article, and just when I am about to get excited I find Cheeta's message in the comments indicating it was stolen from somewhere else. Ugh.

Anyway, I think I can go for hours, but I'll stop! I am also looking for users with quality articles to follow (like yourself), and I would like to think that I am one of those Steemians that try to put more effort into producing valuable content, so perhaps you might want to take a look ;-) Here's a link to some of my articles:
