Please excuse my ignorance in advance. I am a newbie. I'm not super internet savvy to begin with either. I understand completely rules regarding plagiarism and other legal matters, however I thought the beauty of Steemit was to decentralize control from the few to the many.
It seems rules like a limit on the number of posts per day is simply to suit the rule makers fancy and enable a form of censorship under the threat of downvoting. If someone produces good content all day long and wants to post it, what's wrong with that? I'm just asking the question for consideration. Isn't that counter to Steemit's value proposition? Less control, less rules, more freedom. Thank you for reading.
@freeinthought you have very valid points and I wish I had the answers, I am hoping that the whales or @dan @ned @anyx could help though to clarify
Thank you for sharing your summary of the rules nevertheless, It is helpful. In the meantime I hope we do get clarification from the moderators else I fear Steemit will fizzle the moment another platform with the promise of a censorship free community comes along.
If someone produces good content all day long then yes it would be nice to see their content all day.
But that's not what would happen if we could all post all day long.
What would happen is the high-quality writers would spend a substantial amount of time on one or two posts to make their post high quality, while the low-quality writers would spend very little time on every pointless meme they post.
The meme's would wash away the high quality post making it harder to find and reward.
Quality over Quantity
That's the purpose of the reward dilution after 4 posts.
