RE: My 1,000th Post: Why SteemIt Sucks! (what can we do to improve it?)
I agree that not enough quality content gets upvoted because they don't even have a chance to see the light of day!
I just spent several hours scrolling through new posts and there's only that much scrolling I can do in a few hours! Occasionally, I find something that looks interesting and I get really excited, but when I Google it, I find out it's just copy and paste!
But there are the rare times when I truly hit upon a diamond!
Although I want to help discover new authors and offer encouragement, sometimes it just seems easier to follow the established authors and upvote their posts.
If anyone has good suggestions on how to identify good posts, please do share! I feel like I must be doing something wrong because my efficiency is very low...
You are one of the few doing good work, manual content curation, ie. searching for gems is really really challenging. I do a daily publication and I wanted to add some top undiscovered posts, but found a similar problem...either its copy/paste or its just too hard to find. I've seen some work being done that includes word count, but that is a bandaid and skips a lot of non-text content, which is some of the best we have on the site, art/photos/poems/music etc... I hope there is a method out there somewhere as well. Cheers
