First thank you for this post. I agree with you that quality is always the winner in the long run. But a few additional comments. 1. Some people are just better writers than others and can get things done more quickly, so time can be an inaccurate judge of quality. I can write some fast and I am also working on a post that is taking me more than 2 weeks to complete because of the background data needed. But it varies. 2. Also a great challenge especially for newer people is that Steemit (from everything I see) does not necessarily reward you for quality. It can, but more often than not, those with higher rating get 100x more attention than those with lower ones. This causes frustration for those of us who have to choose between other things and posting. I think what Steemit trains people to do unintentionally s to do everything they can to get a high rating and then everyone will pay for your posts. Again I believe it is unintentional and I appreciate that there are many within the community like you who are interested in quality and want to see more of it because in the end if it is not here, there will be no community or interest in the platform. It has to stand on its quality. So for me, I try and strike a balance. I put up some quick and interesting posts and take some time to write long ones. I also have a friend here @davidallenjones who is a professional blog writer. He writes more than 150 stories a month and contributes here as well. We came to this conclusion together. Put in the time and perfect the skills, but also understand how things work, or all the hard work may not pay off. I appreciate your comments and the meaning behind it. Also I am following you.
