I just shake my head at the number of junk posts that for some reason pull a tonne of upvotes and of those well written, well crafted, easy to read and informative lengthy pieces that fail to fire or capture any attention.

What I have found is that if you communicate well and find your niche, you'll attract a small team of the like minded people who enjoy reading your stuff and commenting and vice versa. It's not going to bring a tonne of Steem in but it's something.

Still I'd like to see quality over popularity being the key to doing very well here.
