The number of authors or the quality? This is a difficult question, and it cannot be answered unequivocally. We need both. As mentioned above, everyone here is in small families who read each other and sometimes comment on each other. Nevertheless, there is no big unification. If I participate in a contest, I post a link to my work, but I don't read other authors, because my goal is to participate, not to read others. As a rule, there is no time for this. Only personal communication makes it possible to be interesting to each other. For example, the Russian community survives on stimit only by communicating outside the platform, supporting each other and reminding them to make a publication. Yes, a reward would be a nice addition :) In our case, communication on stimit turned into friendly communication.
We know each other well, AI is simply excluded in our case.
There are authors who write every day. It's me. I like writing a diary because it's a personal story that needs to be preserved.

Maybe this is the most important story in a person's life. Thanks to Stimit, I finally started keeping a regular home diary. All this is due to the habit of doing it here on stimit.
Such diaries are a guarantee of unique content if the user treats himself and others in good faith. I also know authors who can take two hours to manually process photos to post them here. Without demanding any reward for high-quality content. I haven't come across much AI here because our community is small and high-quality :)

High-quality writing is a different concept for everyone. I have determined for myself that everyone should do what no one else will do for him. Writing from the heart and writing with the soul, educating children and adults to understand life, principles of ethics, and glorify kindness - that's what's important to me.
