Even Headless "YOU" Is Bigger Things Than Quality Of Content. Listen To The Last SteemGigs Talk Show Recording.

in #steemit6 years ago

Today's post is a short post containing a video recording of 9 hours 30 mins of last Steemgigs discord talk show. I managed to be present on the show last weekend amidst limited energy and the talk went on. It covered the topic; "what is rewarded on steemit?" but we infused "real life", "steemit history" etc into how we tackled this topic, giving us a twist.

Do well to listen to recording as done by @ishanvirtue:

Alot goes on overall in these talks, so kindly do well to join in this weekend (on https://discord.gg/wWrnSXK). There is singing and play, creativity and invention. 

Many new ones graced the event last week, so add "community and brotherhood" into the mix. 

There are many people to thank overall for the success of these talks, so we will keep it short and say "thank you to all the attendees".

Special thanks to @maverickinvictus who took charge of matters before i arrived.

If you are not able to listen to the recording, kindly visit #dreemsteem which was the tag for the last talk. We dedicated that day to @dreemsteem

Note that the main talk lasts 1 hr 30 mins; thus, if you are able to listen to the recording, you can focus on the first 2 hours of the recording. 

After-party happens thereafter, which covers a mix of steem-talk, play and song.

Here is an excerpt: (Even Headless "You" Is Bigger Things Than Quality Of Content) 

Did you know that on steemit, there are bigger things than "quality of content".
This "sole knowledge" will speed up your steemit journey success-wise. 
Say it with me; "there are bigger things that "quality of content".
Hahaha yes, on steemit, "I am not the best writer; you are not best writer and there are many writers.
There are tons of "quality content"; what there aren't tons of; "is you!"
So perhaps, what's rewarded on steemit is "value"; the value "you" create.
Besides "you" though, let's look at some other things that may matter, when it comes to "what makes a steemit post trend" beyond "quality" of content:
  • Number 1. Much of the "value" created behind-the-scenes, may be rewarded on-the-scene. 
There are many "behind-the-scenes" but only one "on-the-scene". The only on-the-scene is "steemit".
Thus, a giant pay-out on a post may reflect "value", created behind-the-scenes. 
e.g a developer may do sleepless nights behind-the-scenes to make steem work and may be rewarded on steemit, in the form of "giant payout" on his simple-looking post
But there is more...
  • Number 2. A post may decide to trend because of its pinpoint timeliness. 
For instance, a one-liner zap saying "earthquake in 5 mins", may trend over post of "6k words", if "earthquake" did indeed happen. in the next 4 mins and 59 seconds.
And who knows, the picture of a tomato may technically constitute more "valid value" on February 14, than a post containing a "gallery of onions"
  • Number 3. Some posts are triggered from behind-the-scenes  and have been ordained to go out there and trend, for the positive  impact it may have on the community.


  • Number 4. Some posts are on trending because they have been determined as of having "greater potential" to attract "a particular audience" during "a particular period".
e.g a meme author may constantly trend during a particular period, to attract "a meme audience" during "a time when meme is the craze".
  • Number 5. Some posts written in Chinese and hailing from China for instance, may trend because "internet is censored in China" and these types of posts can aid the "steemit presence" in China


  • Number 6. Some "post" may trend because there is "no resource"  even on the entire web on the topic that post covered and it has been  seen that such post, if found organically in the search engines, will do  better in attracting sign-ups, if it earns substantially.
     
Overall, posts that trend, tend to have large amounts in potential payout as these large amounts also have a role attracting sign-ups from visitors who visit https://steemit.com
Basically, "large potential payouts" seen on posts aren't necessarily an exact reflection of just "its quality".
There may be other things apart from "quality" involved! 
What have i been saying?
Much of what is rewarded on steemit is "value", that is why even the simple act of upvoting or "curating" is rewarded as well.
Now, "value" is "bigger things" than just "quality of content".
That your posts doesn't earn well, isn't a reflection of its quality.
Comparisons thus, can help you improve, but don't compare just content. 
If you are to compare at all, compare "value" but since you have no real measure of this "value"; keep in mind that there are bigger things than content and value; 
"YOU!" 
Evolve in your very substance!

I find it quite shocking just how much tends to get done off the blockchain than on. It does make perfect since. Blogs are just a gateway into the aftermath of an event that created it.

I’ve noticed more times than not being first is sometimes better than being quality and getting it out days later. That pinpoint of time is quite an interesting factor into everything. Something I’ve always lacked quite a bit. I rather take my time and get things up to the start I prefer then trying to beat the crowed to the front gate. Sometimes I find it worthwhile just to hold off if you are going be late might as well be fashionably late when no one is expecting to see it anymore. Then it can stand on its own for the quality it has.

Thanks for providing some cliff notes. Wish I had the time to watch that very long recording. Glad to see you are getting so much done! Have a great week.

Hello Boy Terry. How are you and the projects. Have really not been active the platform for a while, reason why have not done any post for some weeks now. But i think am back now and ready to deliver.
Now to my own comment base on the quoted comment below:

Did you know that on steemit, there are bigger things than "quality of content". This "sole knowledge" will speed up your steemit journey success-wise. Say it with me; "there are bigger things that "quality of content". Hahaha yes, on steemit, "I am not the best writer; you are not best writer and there are many writers.

Like you will always say there is no one that does not have something to offer, but it also depends on how you accept what you do. Have learnt to appreciates myself in whatever capacity even if no one is seeing it or appreciating it. No one can say his own writing is better than another, because the other person will also feel the same way. SO WHO IS NOW THE BEST?
The answer to me lies in how you perceive what you do and how you celebrate it even if no one is doing that for you.
Just like i said in my newest post titled "Those tests are becoming testimonies". See the link below:
https://steemit.com/christian-trail/@optimistdehinde/ulog-those-tests-are-becoming-testimonies-refuse-to-give-up

It means you have to believe in what you do either writing,singing, poetry etc. before your audience can join you to believe it.

One of the reason why I like what you do @surpassinggoogle. We are still going to the moon because no one can stop us only if we stop ourselves.

Thank you and am glad to be back.

The most awaited posts of the days are the ones that come from you.

It was indeed a great show

Sad to say that I wasn't able to join the steemgigs discord talkshow. I am very busy on my study because I have to focus. Despite of being very busy everyday, I scheduled a time for atleast 30 minutes to steeming. I hope that I could join the talkshow. I missed the voices in discord channel. I missed the voice of @surpassinggoogle .

The way you encourage people is really amazing sir,thanks a lot have a great day.
