Apples and Oranges

This is my attempt at featuring some unbiased comparisons between a handful of people you may know and the #trending page. Thanks for stopping by!

I did this article a few weeks ago and used it as my contender at kitchen #fff—a weekly cooking competition with a handful of your fellow steemians. It’s a baked potato, no big deal, but I documented each step for the sake of #food and community. Inside the article are 15 images, six shout-outs and five external links. Cook time is less than an hour but I originally typed it out on my phone—that took another hour and a half plus 30 minutes for images—two hours typing time. I copied the article, letter for letter and punctuation for punctuation backwards, from my phone to the iPad, I’m not sure how long that took. However long for rearrangements and editing—results: 33 Upvotes worth .30 cents and 39 engagements. Congratulations!

I just found this photo of a portion of a flower captured by @mandela. The article has one sentence—six words. It generated 73 Upvotes worth $9.60 and 0 engagement in the first hour. Congratulations!

Here’s a pizza article by @sivehead. It’s a month old, it only has one image and one shout-out but nearly every wOrd in the body of his post starts with a P, have you ever seen anyone do that?? He entered it in that same #cooking community I entered mine in, with about eight other chefs. It generated 11 engagements and 30 Upvotes worth .54 cents. Congratulations!

Here’s an article posted by @eladnan called Pets—one sentence and No cover image. In the first hour on the #blockchain it generated 23 Upvotes worth $5.52 and 0 engagement. Congratulations!

This article was written by @thebigsweed upon discovery of a 50 year old newspaper. He explains past world events from each section of the newspaper and compares them to current events. The article has 25 images, four external links, one YouTube clip and three shout-outs. It generated 29 Upvotes worth .12 cents and 9 engagements. Congratulations!

Here’s one called ”Winter.” It’s one beautiful picture, of a picture, of a winter home in Bulgaria. With only two sentences, one picture and one tag, it generated 42 Upvotes worth $28.22 and three engagements in 11 hours. Congratulations!

This article was posted by @jlsplatts at the beginning of December. It’s a documented trip of him and his kids going to Home Depot where his kids were building things with other kids and they spent the entire day together as a family. Inside are 11 pictures, two shout-outs and his first tag is #family. It generated 30 Upvotes worth .52 cents and nine engagements. Congratulations!

Here’s one photo of three horses posted by @mitgtv18. It’s a #colorchallenge photo—the color was green. It contains one picture and one sentence and it generated 171 Upvotes worth $10.03 and one engagement in three hours. Congratulations!

This article is from another food blog written by @puravidaville. It’s a step by step, 3-part Southwestern Salad with 24 ingredients. The article has 18 pictures, eight external links and six shout-outs. It generated 53 Upvotes worth .76 cents and 36 engagements. Congratulations!

This is a picture of sushi rolls posted by @makesushi. The article has one sentence, three pictures of the same image and one link to his YouTube channel. It generated 77 Upvotes worth $57.97 and 10 engagements in 11 hours. Congratulations!
