RE: Quality vs. quantity as a creative publisher on Steemit!
I am impressed how unbiased you managed to describe this. I myself am all on the quality side, I would love for all of steemit to put more work into fewer posts. Imagine your feed being filled with few but topnotch only posts. Also the less quantity the less noise so people can consider better who to vote on.
I started off with a goal to get one post every two or weeks done. That was when I was all new on steemit. Since then I settled to post one big quality post every Thursday. I need the fixed date for myself, otherwise I wouldnt post when I'm not in the mood to write. Sadly this hasnt given me a lot of followers since one post a week tends to drown in the masses of “new“. Luckily I was discovered by curie and earned some money from them. Now I am also trying to post at least 2 times a week slowly working myself up to once a day. Thats my limit, I dont believe I can post more often without having the quality drop..
Sorry for the textwall just wanted to share my experiences and point of view on the topic.
I couldn't agree more with you. I used to post 3-4 articles/day but with a busy life I can't even manage to produce a quality content within 2 days. I am also expecting steemit to have top notch content like medium which is getting even rare by days. Anyhow, I manage to find little gem like the post and the comment above now and then.
I have now started to check out everyone who comments on my posts or comments, because many times it's users, like you who also have quality content and follow them to upgrade the quality of my feed.
It's slowly working, the noise is getting less as I defollow the big spam accounts which promise small upvotes. I used to follow them to get a decent upvote basis on my posts but it's simply not worth messing up my feed..
Yeah I´m doing the same. I unfollowed a lot of people lately, because with so much spam in my feed I often missed real quality work! Now I check out the blogs from commenters on my posts/comments. And if they have content I´m attracted to (and I mean more then one good post and a few resteems) I start following and interacting with them.
