RE: Did you know that close to 70 percent of posts here on Steemit contain less than 100 words?
The posts I scroll right pass are the ones with a video only. The only explanation you get is sometimes the headline leading you to the post. This irritates me as I am a reader, not so much a video watcher.
I like substance in a post and when it has opportunity for conversation, I really get into it.
Yes, there are times when short posts with few words can be done; but to just post a picture, meme or video link, nah, I'm not going there.
I also prefer reading, so videos with not much description don't draw my interest either. Sometimes a lot of time and effort goes into making the videos, but then I think they sell themselves short by not adding much content or background story in the post. I believe they would get morw views and upvotes just by adding a short backstory as well.
Yes, even if it's only a paragraph or two with a summary. It could add more views, comments and interaction from others.
So I have to ask.... how many books do you own @goldendawne , and just out of curiosity what percentage is fiction compared to non-fiction.
My self, tonnes.... six bookshelves in the house six shelves high.... and an RV trailer we use for storage (mostly full of preps, tools etc, but lots of boxes with books).... read them all.
Most are actually non-fiction. Although I like end of the world type fiction books mostly when it comes to fiction as it is. Same goes for what I like to write about, and read on steemit.
Not sure of actual number but approximately 1000 on kindle (maybe 80% non-fiction) and approximately 500 in print books (about 75% non-fiction). Most are in genres of home, gardening, political, biographies, DIY, homeopathy, how-to, etc)
I also have on average six books checked out of library at any given time.
