Upvoted, and I agree with you that there needs to be some sort of limit "for quality control" as you said. I've been here just two days and the number of pure "clickbait fodder" posts I've already seen tells me that the Steemit experience will indeed be diminished if not kept in check, as the platform grows exponentially.
Here's my thing tho (and I am something of a marketer, just one who detests spammy, gimmicky practices - "content is king" has always been my guiding star). I have lots of older writing that would suit this site extremely well imho (a book of poetry for instance). I've several projects that would largely be simple cut and paste jobs to migrate here, and I could post more than a dozen daily for awhile at least, and let our community moderate them up or down appropriately. But just because I don't think I'd be flagged as abusive, doesn't mean I'm right, or that others wouldn't push it way farther than I would.
To sum up, I would hope for an eventual "sliding scale" : that once a blogger has somehow "proven" themselves to be mostly legit, that their personal limit can increase, in time. Given the abusive nature of spammers and all the "fake news" sites out there now, four a day is actually pretty generous. I'm glad I got in now, before it HAS to drop to one. The limit is for all the right reasons I think, and while I'd personally rather just "vomit on the keyboard" and spill 100 posts my first week, Steemit is just a whole new thing - a beautiful thing at that - and - altho I found this post Googling to see if the limit might ever be lifted - I'll concede that some patience is called for, to prevent it crashing from it's own success.
You - and your commenters here - have convinced me; thanks for the post, I will search no more.
