A big problem, indeed, @jaki01.

I see in my own posts how often I will have 200-300 upvotes while I have less than 10 actual page views. And I fear most of those page views happen only because I happen to have built a following that knows I am very likely to engage with any meaningful comment they leave.

In general, I only give out about 10-20 upvotes a day, and pretty much ALL of them are to content/creators whose content generally interests me, and we have become casual friends. I suppose that is "good" in the sense that I am curating completely manually, but NOT so good in the sense that I seldom end up taking time to go exploring for new content creators.

I don't personally like the 5-minute window for the very reason you state... you end up rushing, and on a high quality "long-form" post it stops being enjoyable...
