Avoiding low quality content on Hive blockchain
Hive blockchain is boosting from the Splinterlands expansion as over 10,000 users are joining it day after day. And with that, some of them are heading for the established communities here and start blogging to earn second layer tokens and build-up for the future. While the sea of users is mostly beneficial there is a decrease in quality in terms of blogging and posting across the Hive blockchain and the communities from here. The low quality of posts can be explained by new users yet learning the ways around here, but another source is simply bad content or from trying to trick the system.
With this post, I am trying to emphasize the bad and low-quality content that I am seeing around and which should be avoided by new users in order not to be downvoted or ignored by the communities.
- Copy-pasting own posts and/or content created by other users. This will work once or twice, but once curators find out for sure you will be discrete in this ecosystem. Plagiarism is something bad everywhere so trying to use other people's work and simply post it is something that will be your doom and fall.
- Posts with "trading" images with too few explanations if any, which are probably copied from other sites like TradingView which bring no value or certainty. If you have a strategy and can detail it, that's much better, but using other people's graphs with 2 words is not content that is rewarded around.
- Content with just a link and some Twitter tags. Common guys, do you really believe that this will be rewarded? It is a sure path toward being backlisted all over the place.
- Content that is not relevant to the community in which you are posting. This one I lived it myself and it is easy to cross the line. Your content needs to be at least tangential with the community where it gets delivered and you should carefully choose your tags.
- Words are written, but they don't say anything specific nor do attempt to help users. Sharing experiences or how-to about things in crypto in the financial domain are what bring value, not just throwing some theory out there without anything for the reader to use.
These are just some examples that I stumbled upon while manually curating posts within LEO Finance community and outside of it. Until better-targeted apps for 2-words content will see the day of light (one of them being Project Blank), it is good to try at least bring some more details to our posts as after all Hive is a blogging platform that consumes articles and not links, plagiarism, non-sense, wrong linked communities, hieroglyphic languages and so on. I believe we can all do better and if you consume your energy to post something, why not make it worth it? By doing so you'll get bigger votes and earnings across second layer tokens and HIVE or HBD tokens.

The rewards earned on this comment will go directly to the person sharing the post on Twitter as long as they are registered with @poshtoken. Sign up at https://hiveposh.com.
The fact remains that there will be users who will not want to work but will desire to reap. Sadly , I don't think that there is report button here on Hive with which one can use and report low quality posts

That's true, but I think we can downvote those and that should decrease the rewards. If that is done with a big account, it will nullify almost everything as a way to combat low-quality content.

True but I do not know how to use the downvote button. Am a bit new in the platform . Can you give a a guide and is the downvote option annoymous because if it is not annoymous, it will affect engagement there will be a downvote war

Nothing is anonymous around here, you can even see some other people's balances. It has the same behavior as an upvote.

Some people think that playing the system smartly will help make easy money.
Sadly some day these smarty pants will get caught and put to shame.
To write a decent post is hard work for some.
I wonder why the bother to join these sites.
Posting on HIVE blockchain indeed requires hard work and concentration. Until we'll have microblogging dapps for short content, creating good content is the key!

May not be hard work but some brain work at least, or maybe artwork or photography.
It isn't all that hard provided they put their mind to it.
Sadly people want it the easy way!
Leo Finance is full of shit posts and other communities that I have tried are even worse. We are still doing a damn good job in rewarding good content. I think we need multiple initiatives going on to train newbies and provide more knowledge about writing good content.

Yeah, a lot of low-quality content around, but hopefully that's only the dust from the sea of posting from Hive blockchain. Putting the work and being true to ourselves and others will benefit us in the long run.

Thanks for informing new user like me.i have learnt many things from your post.

Makes you question why people even bother with that. I'm guessing they are used to the "old ways" and hoping to make a quick buck with very little effort.

That's something that everybody in these community needs take in consideration. There is nothing better than posting in handwriting, okay, maybe at first it costs more since not all of us were born learned to make the best posts from the beginning, but that's it, practice and patience. It really sucks to see that type of article that is repeated over and over again, it is also important to show that you are not talking about talking and that you made your first step in that project / investment. It is important to emphasize this from occasionally. Greetings!

This is where a lot of education is needed.
I recently met a person who told me that by publishing 6 posts a day and if I received a vote of 0.50 I would have a good profit at the end of the week.
Well, this mentality is the one that should be punished with all the harshness in the world, because it is this mentality that ruins everything.
