[Discussion Post] Where do we take STEEM from here? A post for STEEM community discussion

in steem •  5 years ago 

Hello, just today I was able to understand a little of the ... 100 DAYS OF STEEM!
I came to STEEM looking for the dream of cryptocurrencies, I live in a country with a terrible internet, in addition to other shortcomings such as lack of light, etc. I studied some of the movement here at Steem, and the only way to grow my account a little bit was to try and create some content. Participating in challenges and doing healing.
By famor tell me the golden secret, what else can be done in STEEM apart from that?
Does Steem have anything besides that that can be done?
Why invent the fearsome phrase "Quality content"?
My God, who invented the thermometer to measure quality?
Or is it that they have not found out about the thousands of different cultures that exist in Steem, where there are communities from India, Africa, Asia, Europe, America, where thousands of gods are worshiped and each being feels their culture and Do you think of something sacred of the highest quality?
And that happens everywhere even within the smallest homes, each house is a different culture although they speak the same language and have the same values, we are all individual beings.
Did you know that a Muslim learns by heart the verses of the Koran and if he writes a verse here, then is it plagiarism? Or an indu tells a story that he also learned by heart and because you don't understand how sacred it is to transmit that poem or story you accuse him of plagiarism.
I think I have received the hardest blows to my psyche from seeing these cases and from seeing the attacked steemians leave and not write any more.
I have received negative votes, 4 in a single publication of 0.10 ctm.
I think not everyone sees it the same way and I don't know what the basis for that is.
I don't speak English, I use a translator, but I hope you understand this. Thanks for asking.
I think 100 days of STEEM is incredible.

I think this is important to reconsider the culture of judging another person's content without any context. For all we know, the simple photograph that is downvoted may include a beautiful story that we don't see, such as the first time someone's child or elderly parent has posted on the internet. We should move away from the culture of downvoting for quality and focus on upvoting and commenting on quality. There is a different discussion about spamming/milking, and downvotes are needed to ensure a minimum quality, but the vast majority of social media is Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, and where is the "quality content" there?

Your point is very valid! There are many different cultures in the world with many different values. I don't necessarily think of the phrase "quality content" as a bad thing. I know a lot of people associate the phrase with long articles that take hours to write, but I think of the phrase as meaning something which is good for Steem in the long run. I would consider one example of this to be something which is original, and demonstrates something about the writer.

A Muslim might quote the Koran by heart, and provide a view which I may or may not have not seen before. To me, that is quality content because the article reflects a culture, and a passion. In the long run, both of those things will be necessary to help Steem succeed. You are right that even households right next to each other are different cultures (I don't think any of my neighbors care about Steem. Yet. . .)

I think a majority of what is posted, if the writer spent 10-30 minutes on it, and it demonstrates passion or commitment is quality content. It is the milking and spam articles that I have a problem with.

Thanks for your lighting spot.
