Suddenly I realize the same thing that you mentioned: When someone spends all his time making his best efforts as a blogger, and curating high quality content, can easily forget how many people saturate this blockchain with mere sh*t.

When I was beginning in this platform, I understood that; but it's not equal the impression that it gives when you are starting —so confused for the amazing complexity of Steemit— than the one you receive when you understand well how things work in here.

As many people, when I started in Steemit, I was so disappointed because I invested great time and energy creating my first posts and received very little rewards for them. But then I wandered through the trending page and saw so many easy irrelevant (and stupid) posts that obtained (apparently) tenths and hundreds of dollars in crypto.

I asked myself: "What kind of strange things these people support... and why?"

I had found already Medium and I saw that there deep knowledge, interesting explanations, art, skilled thinking and intelligence were the things most valued. I like very much the high quality of Medium. That was a strong contrast when I compared with what I saw in the Steemit's trending page.

But then I also understood the acceptable difference, that Steemit is not only a blogging platform but also a social media, so people show their personal experiences and inspirations and get rewarded by those who may like that.

There is much more "friendship" in these spaces than in other platforms that consist only in blogging. So you may tell a personal experience in a few lines, upload a photo of your dog and your friends and followers could find that entertaining, amusing and worth rewarding.

Of course, from that practice to the constant posting of easy short banalities, there is an abyss. Even in intimate short stories we can see a sort of high quality. We can see very well when someone is giving the best of his life, in the best possible way.
