RE: 5 times downvoted, so far no reason why (a proposal for the STEEM developers at the bottom of the post)
Who is entitled to define quality on this blockchain? A decentralized blockchain...
Are whales entitled? Just as long as they have downvotes at hand...
Are the ones posting 1000 words blogs? No they aren't. You can have posts such as @rickpics and @pixaroma have with great photography which are far better in my opinion than my long shit posting that nobody reads...
If one thinks that only blogging means quality in here and that the blockhain's purpose is only related to blogging is wrong IMO. Steem can be a good alternative to instagram and twitter as well. It's just that the veterans started blogging in here and that's why blog posts are so appreciated.
Sometimes one pic is worth more than a thousand words so how come quality can be attached only to words.
I like your sugestion a lot regarding downvotes. If we have to wait 13 weeks to power down why can't we make downvoting also something a bit harder to use and with more sense attached to it.
Stormy times we have around here...
I am fully aligned with your vision about what to share at steem. I don't think it has to be a specific blogger platform. Steem has such a potential that we have to accept any kind of content.
btw, I am one of your readers and I like what you write man, don't take it so hard!
I'm a perfectionist and that often takes me to extremes 😶. Plus I'm no native English speaker...but people like yourself who read get the point. I admit that I like blogging and I like writing but sometimes I just feel like sharing just a pic or two...but that's not quality as some consider. In my opinion this type of posts become a problem when one shares ten or twenty a day and gets highly rewarded also for doing that. Keep it real and fuck the flags. They come and go just like those users that you mentioned.
Have a great week!
