I am new at the Steemit community and i am also a visual artist, i use collage as my medium, i see a lot of spamming and a lot of copy paste. In my opinion, good orinal content is the only way to succeed and all the spamming in the end comes back to your face. Very interesting article and the Carravaggio painting is one of my favorites. When i started collaging i ve made a study based on it.
