One’s view of shitposting is going to be entirely based on the individual’s relationship with social media and what they believe the platform is meant for - if you are all about high-quality long form articles and stories, you will recognize most posts here as shitposts (including many, but not all, of mine, lol). However, if you come from Instagram or Facebook and expect a similar experience here, you won’t be dissapointed with a picture with a few sentences or a DLike link with some commentary. I believe that our high standards for content is a great thing and it applies positive pressure on the quality of our communities’ contributions, but many different styles of posts are incentivized by dapps, some of which are not so involved or thoughtful. That being said, I think dapps like Steepshot and DLike are important additions to the platform for more casual writers/sharers, “average Joes” like myself and so many others.
