RE: Why doesn't anyone swear on Steemit?
The lack of expletives on Steemit may be due to the fact that the market rewards thoughtful, loquacious posts that add value to the reader. What is valuable about a post full of cheap words we've all heard before? When I login to Steemit I want my mind expanded and my perspective broadened. Embellishment is best achieved with a thesaurus, not a gutter.
Fuck is the most useful word in existence nothing else comes close.....
It is if not over used. If someone uses it very frequently it loses virtually all of it's impact. It is a word I use when I am truly shocked or angry. If I used it all the time or frequently it would lose that impact.
Any word that replace a full stop or comma or even an umm or like but also be offensive is magical. Fuck is probably the most versatile word that exists.
Kind of subjective. If people use it a lot it becomes meaningless to me. It only truly is noticeable to me from people I don't normally hear it from.
Holy shit, yes! I want people to discuss and argue, to see and understand different view points, but instead it's a bunch of short compliments that really mean very little.
The small encouragement may mean little to you, but to the writer it's an incentive to continue creating original content. A burst of confidence, if you will.
Okay, it may make you feel good, but is it actually honest? or is it just a nice comment to get upvoted? is it critical and does it help you to improve? I'm not saying nice comments are bad, I'm just saying mean, honest comments (when constructed well) prove to be more helpful.
