I actually have written a little more earlier, and plan to! That's a helpful contribution, so thanks. I honestly just want to get people discussing this. I admitted in the article itself I don't really know how to go about it: I just know it's something that needs to be discussed if we want to hope for any kind of quality in the long run.

And it's helpful to have the reminder that not everyone has that education. Honestly, that's part of what I'm trying to open up: a conversation among artists and writers that might help us offer an education to the Steem members who are writers and readers. As hard as it is, however, a significant part of this is being able to say when things aren't that good--as I've mentioned in almost every article I've written about this, the critics in my life have done me a lot of good, and I'm grateful. Of course I do sound a bit exasperated in this post.. but I'm just doing my best to open this up.

I'm also just sad that some really good writers here are getting no attention, while some really low quality stuff is exploding. It's hard to know what to do with that.

I'm willing to grow and do it differently, so am grateful for your suggestions!
