RE: As the conditions change

in #thoughts6 years ago

That age old argument that posting quality isn't worth the effort for the reward, reminds me of some @eco-alex sometimes talks about. So often, people have been raised with the manipulation of reward and punishment, that maybe they really believe something isn't worth doing well unless they're getting a "suitable" and immediate reward for it. Then on the other hand bad behaviour is only bad if it gets punished. Long term effects are often too far away to see if you've never been taught about it.

While I've noticed quality improving since the hardfork, with the increase in people hunting it down and it getting rewarded again, some big curators have assessed content producers on their previous work for consistency then put them on autovote. Not something they would do if you've been inconsistent with quality in the past.

Post quality because you want to for your own sake.

Post quality out of respect for your readers. Many of who have yet to be born.

People expect the readers to be there before the quality gets delivered.

Now that that really requires some forward thinking! I wonder if I'll be in existence still when some of them come along.

I find this common in companies I work with and part of the reason so many people find it difficult to build a career they might want. It also appears in those who require to build a foundation before being able to extract value. I have seen many bright, young entrepreneurs fail miserably because they couldn't delay gratification.

Thats really interesting, because one of the things repeated time and time again is that it usually takes a couple years for a business to even start making a profit.

I like to take the Dory approach if I start to get despondent.
