Quality content to me, is content I like.

That is pretty much the only content I vote on. I do try to reserve a couple of votes for things that are of value to others and meet some sort of quality, or are from people helping people, but 85% of all my votes are on content I like, I also agree with the author issue, steemit and the web are good places to develop into an Author, but until you have a published book that can be ordered or purchased in a store, you are not an author. Sorry all those reporters and document writers and travel writers, and writers of this or that but no book, no Author Status in my view point/opinion.
