Happy to hear your comment. If you read some of my other articles, like the one I would linked, you'd see I've already spoken about that a bit. You can believe me or not, but it really isn't jealousy that motivates me, although no matter what I say some people will think that. For better or for worse, I live based on principles and with as much integrity as possible. And I am very sad to see really good writers and artists get discouraged because people don't recognize the excellence of their work.
In the end, of course there will always be poor quality and people that will upvote it.
But I think it's important to have an ongoing discussion on the platform about quality if we want Steemit to be as good as it can possibly be, and maybe shift the balance at least a little. I'm just one little voice, but I hope I can influence at least some people here. Quality matters! Xx, Kay
I get your point. And if you say it's not jealousy- I take it for true. I believe that this is not the typical social media and there is not so much vanity. But the talented people don't have to give up. It will take them time and hard work to get to the place to be valued. It takes more than talent and excellence for this, they need to find audience that will read.
I agree that quality matters, but my point is that there is different tastes. There is a lot of things that I don't like, but that don't makes them less meaningful.

I upvoted this article because I like the debate and I'm happy to endorse the conversation, but it is not a high quality article IMO.
I think quality is the wrong metric to push, but I do agree that people should read and put some thought into their upvotes. It'd be really great if they documented those thoughts in a comment. I personally crave the comments more than the upvotes, though a little money is always appreciated.
