RE: Building Your Steemit Presence: The Quest for Engaging Content — Ask Questions!
I have been reading your publications friend @denmarkguy for a few days and I sincerely admire the simple, clear but at the same time profound way that you have to express yourself, my respects.
I totally and completely agree with everything you say in this publication my dear, I try that in some way my publications always have something personal, and own addition even if they are an informative article, a contest, or a validation of achievements.
Unfortunately, we live in times in which society places quantity above quality, "numbers are all" some will say. But many forget that people are not numbers, they are beings with feelings, energies, and emotions that need the warmth of genuine contact.
The concept of "the more views and votes you have, the better your content" although maybe economically true when reviewing social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, tik tok, and long, etc. we end up realizing that it is not true at all.
I think that many misunderstand the meaning of quality content, for that of "visually attractive content" and do not realize that the most important thing is that we express what we carry inside and not what the rest want to see or read.
One question, what would an ideal community be like here in steemit? What kind of content do you like to read? Do you consider that current communities are achieving their purposes? or have they become "repositories" of content in search of curation?
Thanks for your kind words!
You are precisely right in saying that people are not numbers... and one of the ways be can stand out from the rest is by not giving in to this idea that we must produce a huge quantity to keep up. Certainly, there may be some who "do better" (earn more rewards) than us... but we can hold our heads up and say that we did our best.
Hard to say something is an "ideal" community... because I am interested in different things. I like the idea of a community for pet owners (we have "Fur-friends") because I have cats and dogs. I also like the idea of a psychology/mental health community, which we do not currently have. The "World of Xpilar" community is nice because it draws a very broad global crowd, and have a very engaged leadership team. I'm sure some of the country communities are very supportive, as well... particularly the Germany, Italy and Venezuela communities come to mind. I can't speak to the Korean communities, because there are many and they are quite spread out.
I definitely agree with you friend @denmarkguy we owe ourselves primarily to our conscience, looking good with ourselves, with our principles and values is fundamental, in my opinion, to be a good blogger. I feel very identified with what he writes and that is why I follow him.
As for the communities I share with you in World of Pixar, it is a very interesting and diverse community, although I have not written in it for a few days, but I will soon return to it. Steem Venezuela also offers a lot of support to the community of Venezuelans in steemit and writing and reviews also offers to publish about literature, cinema and poetry topics that I really like, currently I have been inclined to write in Project Hope, a community that cares about offering a direct and constant help to its members, even granting donations for members with health problems or other emergencies of a social nature. A great team !!.
A pleasure to establish a pleasant conversation with you, I hope we can do it more often because I feel that I can learn a lot from you. Best regards, have a nice day.
