RE: Rewards as an indicator of quality
As usual, you make some good and valid points here.
"Quality" is a very individual thing... there are briliant photographs, funny comics and more here that are also quality. For some, a lengthy and well done essay on some topic is "too much;" those people prefer an an abbreviated version.
Experience and consistency does matter here... in many cases, there are users whose pages I can visit and I KNOW the content (nevermind the subject) they present will be good quality, and when they are also someone who have been here for many months... it does show up in their rewards. When I come across a newcomer who created something excellent, I also tend to check if they have done anything else... that's how I decide to follow... or not.
Speaking of quality authors... Did you sleep well? :)
In time hopefully there will be a full spectrum of quality content being rewarded deep. This takes time. Your process of finding content and providers likely differs from many due to your own interests and background. More that read your work will build an understanding on how to do similar. Build processes that will add value to their 'walking lives' also.
If you can direct me to the section who enjoy reading lengthy but poorly done content, they are my people. :)
I don't for a moment claim to "have it right," just following a path that has worked somewhat well for me in the past, in the course of some 20 years of creating content and developing a "following" for it. The fact that most content sites I've been part of have ended up going in a different direction (typically towards their own demise) is-- I suppose-- just a reflection that most of the world thinks it wants to take "shortcuts," even while such shortcuts (quick, spun, low grade content) offers zero long term sustainability. Unless you're a Farcebook or tweetter which offer content creators pretty much ZERO in return.
This is what I mean by people can learn from you. You may not be right but you explore the path. There is value in being part of that journey.
I am painting a woodshed at the moment... long story but from the archives:
