>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.

I think this goes some way in explaining the 'double' addiction to Steemit!

@jacor  Really good post.

wow your post is so informative specially to aspiring bloggers and content writers out there. i admire your content and i learn a lot.

i like to explore more :)

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.

<p>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.</p>

Excellent @jacor

This is all nice, but I feel like becoming overloaded with content, don't you?

The amount of information at our fingertips is literally endless!

A great time to be alive

A lot of content but a lot of lazy people...

Hey, my name is Nadine and I am new on Steemit. Maybe you can check out my post as well and follow back. Thank you :-)

I really like your post great :-)

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.

Upvoted and followed you.great information you have given.tnx for share.
Pls give and upvote to the minnow post https://steemit.com/science/@masudrana/if-you-want-to-increase-the-size-of-your-iot-keep-thinking

I think the more important question here is, *"What can I do with all that I know?"*

Yeah right about what you say. I also almost every day participate in the contest. Thank you @jacor

Very interesting, thank you for sharing.

Thanks informasi

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.

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.
