uhm. i have known some buskers. if the 'business" is good, they stay. if its meh, they tend to play until they have enough for a bottle of wine and some food then call it quits. they'd much rather hang out with friends and earn nothing than play for people who pay them but dont stop to listen.

lol bad example, but i know what you mean. you dont know you've got something viral until... the same people vote on your post every day whether you shit post or write something epic.

my answer is the same, I dont want to be there. that means people arent really engaging, or listening.

i guess Im an anomaly. entertainment is all good, but I want content, not waffle. if a photographer posts an amazing photo yet tells me nothing about it, i dont give that much worth. if another guy posts average joe pics but tells an good story, gives me perspective on what im seeing, that post gets more value.

after the 79th amazing photo, its just another photo. and i think this is where people get confused about what makes great content, and what we should be rewarding. talent counts sure, but without perspective and meaning, whats the value?

this is where quality over quantity fails for me. i will reward more for the effort in creating a good quality amateur post than i will for one incredible photo with no explanation.

I don't mind making a dime if i know i've put in the work. but if someone started rewarded me 50 steem for every post? I'd turn around and give most of it away to people I thought deserved it as much or more than me. because to me, that is the meaning of community.
