Content are all around us. Webpages, E-books, tweets, Facebook posts, Steemit Blogs and so much more. Content has become so widely available that we can actually say it is part of our day to day language.
And in the middle of all the content out there is our smartphones. Sure a lot of us se Tablets as well, but you have your smartphone with you most of the time.
What do people want from content?
There is so much content available out there that nobody, can everybody just consumes a fraction of this?
According to a Wave study from UMMWW, people are looking for the following in the multitude of content.
The reputation economy
People are very attached and even emotional about the things that they share. Think about it, you do not want to share everything with everybody. To be honest, reputation and reward go hand in hand. I read a very interesting experiment in the same Wave report.
We instinctively know that having a good reputation makes us feel good. But the link between reputation and reward is more direct and powerful than you might think. In 2008 the National Institute for Physiological Sciences in Aichi, Japan, mapped neural responses in the brain to different rewards. One reward was financial - subjects played a card game and were rewarded with money for winning.
The second was reputational - subjects were shown a picture of their face with a positive or negative description underneath, supposedly written by their peers. When the subject’s brain was monitored it showed that the brain responded in exactly the same way to the financial reward as it did to positive reputation.
Reputation and reward goes hand in hand
Just like here on Steemit, we all have a decision what we are going to write in our next blog posts. We are all actually in control of our own content sharing strategies. I really enjoyed this report by UMMWW and will definitely share more about what I've learned in the report. It is really interesting to see how other people feel about the content they share.

Happy Steeming!

A lot of content but a lot of lazy people...
Couldn't agree more on this. Yeah they are just lazy ..
that was SUPER useful, thanks a lot! so entertaining, useful, content is the best... makes sense! :-)
We each search the blogs for the information that interest us. "One shoe does not fit all " and that freedom of choice is the essence of freedom.

I really like your post great :-)
I joined steemit because I was interested in creative writing and needed an audience for my writing, but I agree with you that there are other factors which need to be considered.
Like wise..the creative writing attracts me and it also inspire me to develop me next idea.
i like to explore more :)
If we shared all content exactly equally what we were interested in, it would point to incredible levels shallowness in nearly everyone- the innate assumption that everyone agrees with our views.
Fortunately, there are enough people who DON'T assume that to distort the agreement in the two traces in the second plot. (There would be a few who would make some moral or philosophical commitment to share only what truly interested them, I suppose, with intent to broadly educate.)
Also, guys would have long ago made sure that porn overwhelmed the entire Internet, not just most of it.
I don't answer my phone any more and don't respond to letters or emails. If people can't talk to me to ask for something it can't be that important.
Thanks for the sharing. I'm thinking to run a training course just on the subject of how to create contents. Content creator industry is picking up now. For me, it's all about the critical thinking skills one should have . I wrote about this too in one of my postings few days ago. I just love contents.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
Great informative post!
The amount of information at our fingertips is literally endless!
A great time to be alive
I think this goes some way in explaining the 'double' addiction to Steemit!
Interesting stats on the infographics you posted, especially about how we do not usually share the information that we are most passionate about.
From my short experience on Steemit, I have seen otherwise, even though there is a lot of pointless posts being created. However, I have been selective about who I follow and have tried to give meaningful commentary on people's posts. That seems to be a challenge these days for many people it seems.
The one thing I have seen on Steemit, that a large percentage of the posts are quite positive. I am not sure if this is because the authors are garnering upvotes and have reserved their true opinions foe the sake of acceptance on the platform mearly to earn.
I am sure as the platform matures, the quantity of meaningful conversations will increase.
Cheers.
This is all nice, but I feel like becoming overloaded with content, don't you?
I think the more important question here is, "What can I do with all that I know?"
