And yes, I often spend two hours on a post. In 2+ years, I think I managed to post four posts in one day twice. Mostly it's once daily, sometimes twice.
This. I guess you'd rather earn rewards on the articles you spent 2+ hours on, instead of a simple meme if you were to share that? - I know I would.
It's not that I hate memes or anything... It's just that a meme takes 10 seconds to share. Sure, it could take longer in case you came up with something original, but a written article would most likely take more time than any meme you could ever think of. I would like to see more rewards for that, than "less quality", but according to users here, memes are quality.
So, even though I probably shouldn't say this but, quality is in the eye of the beholder. Always have, always will. Some will reward my shitposts more than articles I spent + hours on and others will ignore my articles no matter the quality and no matter the subject.
Steem is strange and it's messed up, but it's also why I love it.
About cats... I don't know... I'm allergic. lol :D
