Thank you for posting @mindhunter.
If one may add to the dialogue, as you mentioned this is a visual society, however that does not mean one is not without the privilege of trying something different. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words...photographs have their own message and data they bring with them, easily distracting the reader from the message of the text.
At Steemit, there are those who have a measure of success without photographic imagery and those who have had success on photographic imagery alone.
Thank you for the opportunity to express thought.
Principle. Entertainment has replaced etymology.
I think a mixture of both is the key $ winner on Steemit - this is currently the toughest challenge - finding the right balance :)
