This is very well said and extremely well described and argued. I had almost forgotten the original perspectives of life before that. Because even just recently I read again that people nowadays prefer to look at just pictures accompanied by short sentences. Perhaps that's why I also prefer to accompany my texts with pictures, even if these pictures often have nothing to do with the text. But at the same time, I can't limit myself to just a few sentences or just one sentence, even when I'm just writing a comment.🤭
How many of us really put in the effort to engage our readers?
Well, this is a very relative thing, because it depends not only on the writer, but also on his audience. For example, in the last few days I've been thinking about how I can't share anything personal on FB, regardless of the number of "friends" or acquaintances there, how there usually isn't or never has been any dialogue, reciprocity or compassion there. While here I can do it, with unknown acquaintances and unknown friends, and the likelihood that some kind of dialogue will take place here and there will be some kind of response is much greater, despite the long and sometimes quite heavy texts, although completely sincere, but difficult to read. So it doesn't even depend on the effort I put in. Although everything you wrote is true in principle.😊
Well, I’m not at all undermining the photographers and artists here, no, not at all. Quite the opposite.
The way you use photos gives your posts a character of their own. Each picture speaks in its own language… you know what I mean :)
But thank you for your detailed feedback. As frustrating as the whole business of uploading images (and Steemit itself at times) can be, I thought, why not take it as a challenge? Maybe there’s beauty in trying to tell a story without pictures, where words take the place of colors, and imagination fills in the frames. I don’t even know, perhaps it was a spur-of-the-moment thought, but it felt like a doorway to connect with writing and with readers in a different way.
I can completely relate to what you’re saying. FB often feels like a crowd where everyone is present but no one is really listening. Even though "coin" is involved, but here on Steemit, there’s a sense of dialogue and genuine response that feels more human...
