I hope I'm one of your exceptions. I like to think that my blog posts are quality enough, even if I'm not always to everyone's taste (yeah I know, hard to believe, right?).

I write daily because it's a kind of therapy as I articulate and express better with the written word, and I usually have a lot to say. I like to create. I join in weekly challenges. I take pride in my content and like to think I set an example.

I know it's the instant attention grab but that's the nature of the feed too - you can only scroll so far and usually pick up the dailies, and it's also the nature of the rewards system, as there's no point voting on anything over a day or two old at most.

I like to thing a lot of people are here for the engagmenet too, though recognise it's not why everyone's here, and can see why people get pissedd off with undue rewards or getting very little themselves.

I think more and more HIVE isn't really the place for long form unless you have a burning desire to write it and an audience that might read it. Still, it's a SOCIAL media - shorter posts (for me, that means 300 words minimum) that are still well written and engaging are good enough for what we're set up for. It'd be cool if we had separate reward pools eg long form/short form/micro and you could elect which one you want your post to go in and which you want to play in.

Grateful for everyone who reads and comments on my work. Off to comment on others today, especially the poorly rewarded.
