RE: Quality Maximalists are driving regular users away from Steem - Quality is overrated - Stop demanding it! -
All of the other listed social media sites don’t reward fiscally for content, though. Steemit does. That’s the biggest disconnect between Steemit and any other social media network, and the primary reason why Steemit can’t be compared to any other free platform. If we want Steemit to be another free social media, fine. Remove the rewards and then you’re well on your way.
Steemit needs an emphasis on quality to be successful, however the methods for determining that quality and how it’s featured need to changed.

They are the only good examples of currently successful projects which are comparable to Steems dapps. That's why I used them for an example. How isn't that logical.
We already have an epmhasis on quality which is as mentioned part of the equation for success and I have nothing against it but, the problem mentioned in the article isn't the emphasis but rather an over exaggerated emphasis and demand for only quality content. Only that and nothing else. Excluding all other forms, except what they consider to be of good quality.
That is toxic. As mentioned, people should be to post whatever they want. Who are we to govern them?
I don’t think the emphasis is over-exaggerated at all. The reason why it appears over-exaggerated is because there are no filters on content for people to find their niches. You might like conspiracy theories, for example, where I don’t. So obviously I’m going to want to see less conspiracy theories on this site because I don’t deem them ‘quality’. The issue doesn’t lie in the demand for quality content, it lies in the fact that everyone’s definition of quality is subjective and there’s currently no way to filter out what you subjectively don’t like.

I wrote a little bit more about this here this morning. Feel free to take a look!
