Thanks for editing the follow up comment. I tend to read the comments as there are often interesting observations made. A post's quality should not be determined by the number of upvotes it receives. Life is not about chasing popularity.

I use an rss feed from trusted sources and reddit for finding informative articles for the threadverse to enjoy reading, I want the people here to not miss out on anything. For the new outlets that do not support rss I bookmark them then check them out once in a while for interesting pieces. Sure original content is the most valuable though plenty of folks here exclusively use lemmy/piefed on mobile so they don't see it as potential duplicates, people also cross-post content to shift the conversation away from problematic instances.

It's fair to desire more original variety in the content. Sometimes I tend to enjoy posting memes more I personally made from gimp. Learning Blender and making a short animation on Peertube to share here would be a amazing!
