@zappl, appreciate the comment... coming on a post launched from *your* platform!

I would submit that this short form post DID create value-- as it generated interaction and had 50+ comments. So that's on the plus side. 

But we also have to look at the "signal-to-noise" ratio. Does someone who posts an endless stream of every bite of the taco they are eating "add value?" Or is that just noise/static?

Things don't have value simply because "they exist." 

Zappl is somewhat modeled on twitter. I *use* twitter. But twitter is also home to millions of people who claim to have "100,000 followers" none of whom ever read or interact with a single one of that user's 500 daily tweets. Does that ocean of 256-character word soup have "value?" Translated to Steemit, would that just amount to so much "dust" on the blockchain?

NOT a criticism, by the way... just a question in the discussion!
