Valuing content isn't just about upvotes. I realized the breadth and depth of steem content today, and I'm IMPRESSED!
For those speed readers who want the "quick summary" of this post, I'll post up top first. Steemit and the steem blockchain is starting to become my TOP 3 places I go to on the internet for current news, events, and information.
These posts I find, are very fun and informative and worthwhile. I don't need to hear it from my local newspaper, TV, friends or family... I can just login to steemit and get quality material posted here a lot everyday!
So yes, quality posts should be upvoted. Authors want to get paid. But even if authors don't make thousands of dollars per-contribution, the information I get out of them is worth thousands of dollars to me.
All it takes is one good tip, one good piece of advice you didn't already know to enrich your life, and it becomes priceless.
..and that's how I'm starting to see STEEM and STEEMIT today. It's becoming priceless, as a reader of quality content.
I'm glad being a reader is free. No subscription needed. Think of the thousands of dollars you'd waste over your whole life paying cable tv fees "just to watch the news"... and free information via steemit is quite a bargain!!
I wanted to share how I feel today. Now you can see which 3 posts spawned me to write this...
I started this morning looking at this "regular" awesome weekly Bitshares report by @steempower:
Bitshares - State of the Network - 5th September 2017
He's done 51 of these amazing reports, content-rich. If you are into Bitshares, they're incredible. If you're NOT into Bitshares, they are a prime example of a quality post. Just take a look at it.
Thank you @steempower for demonstrating hard work, and persistence to not do it just 2 or 3 times, but 51 times and counting... You're such an asset to the Bitshares community, and steemit too!
...next...
I stumbled upon a conspiracy-theory like post from @pressfortruth
Electronic Warfare Patents Seek To Alter Human Consciousness
It's basically about patents filed to control human brains. Sounds far fetched, I know... but people are working on it, and filing patents on it. Eventually a science fiction movie will be made on this... (and then the real thing usually comes out after the movie). Sick stuff. But at least I became aware of the possibilities on steemit.
Thank you for this particular video @pressfortruth we need to be aware these things are brewing.
Next, I found @bycompoundfilms writing about sick gross stuff happening at Domino's Pizza with moron employees thinking it is funny to taint customer's foods here:
Dirty Domino's Exposed | 2017 | Compound Films
I didn't know about this... maybe you did. I'd rather not know about it. However, knowing about it and letting this crap go viral is important. If society as a whole thinks it is not funny, and degrades those who think it is funny.... perhaps those idiots will hear about it and stop doing it.
We can pretend the real world doesn't exist, but it does. Knowledge and awareness are key to a better world. So I want to hear about these things, positive or negative alike.
Thank you @bycompoundfilms for that video, we need to be aware these things still go on
I'm on day 12/30 of my positivity challenge.
How about you? Do you ever get quality information, or up to the minute news from the steem blockchain?
It's amazing to think that this site is such a great resource and not yet even out of beta stage.

Completely agree with you that I'm glad there isn't a subscription fee for reading rights here on steemit!
I'm spending hours a day reading interesting stuff here. I'd be broke if there was an hourly charge ;-)

There is alot of good content on steemit but its hard to find because only the most upvoted get popularity but i think long term the people that provide quality content are going to get noticed.
Keep up the good work.

I absolutely get my news here especially anything involving crypto currency! I'm sick of the bias and politics involved with traditional news outlets so I quit paying attention to them.
If something important is happening I'll usually come across it here. In crypto currency, this is the place to be to find breaking news and analysis on what's going on in the markets.
There's a lot of other useful and interesting stuff here and all kinds of people and I can't spend enough time on this platform (literally). I needs my steemit fix!
Now back to work for me

You couldn't be more right @intelliguy, I used to browse Reddit and Facebook quite a bit, and friends would tell me about things going on in tech, and the world. Steemit threw everything for a loop and made how I receive information much more interesting and detailed. It's amazing for the fact alone that I can immediately learn something new when I open a post.
There's a lot of quality out there, and for the many like myself who are not quite there yet, are given a chance to grow, improve, and learn.

Hey, I agree there is a lot of good posts but it really depends on the subject. For example about conservation, nature, environment, in general I am lacking good articles a lot. There are just a few in one week. If you are interested in conservation check out my contact bellows.
Thanks.

1 /100 only of people are really rewarded for their work :)

No, I wouldn't say it that way...
I'd say 100 people are really rewarded for their work, 1/100th of the time. At some point or another, everyone eventually makes money here if they keep working hard. The problem is, a lot of people don't want to keep working hard and give up too easily.
