A very real and good thought.
In my opinion, content will be interesting when there is interaction between creators and audiences, which can then be a material discussion about the contents of a post. You are right one hundred percent good content but without an audience is a very real problem. how come people will be able to say a good content if no one knows it.
an interaction is certainly very necessary to make relationships that can communicate with each other. don't stop at admiration and without further discussion of content.
Whether a content is good or not will be relative and dependent on many variables.
Value of likes, upvotes in large quantities and large values sometimes does not always refer to the good content. There are times when an upvote is given because the promoter is a "syndication" or a community that will automatically like and upvote each other.
Thank you @exyle, You open my thought a lot.
