Maybe this is due to the way musing curators curate/upvote. There is sentiment towards lengthy reply and I do not blame the curators because this idea has been ingrained in the philosophy of the steem ecosystem. _The longer the better_, and many have chosen to follow that path, and I must confess it is working out well for them.</p><p>However, I have chosen a different path. One that is precise and concise. Yes, you may not find my replies or answers on the top trending column but I'm certain to some extent that I'm amongst the top 20 beneficiaries of @musing upvotes. This is not to brag but to show that you can be precise in your approach and still make something decent for yourself.</p><p>Do not join the bandwagon. Whether style or approach you deem suitable please follow up till the end. It's not about length but quality. You can highlight several points in short response to a question than ramble on and on, using just one simple point. </p><p>And I will like to add, what is required here, in my opinion, is _surface knowledge_, on a particular topic. We have books, journals that give people in-depth knowledge about whatever knowledge they need. You as a muser have the primary responsibility of introduction the person asking to the idea or concept they wish to understand. And if you want them to have a deeper knowledge then you can refer them to a book or a site that deal with the subject. This is not an encyclopedia of knowledge but a microblog where people are seeking quick and precise answers to their questions. My apologies. This has turned into a lengthy post. But I'm sure you get my point.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3mnhbzn5","appParentAuthor":"itstime","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
