RE: Did you know that close to 70 percent of posts here on Steemit contain less than 100 words?
As we are in the baby-steps phase with the steemit world, I guess things have to sort themselves still. Right now it feels to me that this is just a blueprint of the crazy world outside - where the short messages get shorter and less content-carrying every day. One thing I noticed with many longer posts and content, is that "old bloggers" are joining here now and just repost all of the content they have been writing on their blogs in the past years - so whenever something looks "very professional" I do search for it (and usually find it quickly) and do honestly not feel like upvoting it, even if it is nice or good content.... And then there is the "taste" issue - maybe some people consider the "one pic one line" posts great because they do not have to invest much of their time on reading long post... and honestly, sometimes just give an upvote in the feed to a pic and a headline that catches my eye due to the limited time I can spend on steemit... Let's see, where the roads are taking us and Steemit - Cheers from the Seven Mountains in Germany
Steemit is definitely a cooy of the real world. I don't have too much problem with old bloggers posting their old material here to a new audience and getting some reward. It still is adding value, rather than putting up some junk meme. It is up to the people to vote, so there will be those who enjoy a one-liner or meme. Generally those posts only earn little rewards though. Maybe a handful will make food money.
