Great article. I especially like this "For sites that hope to gain momentum from cryptocurrency enthusiasts first, this could mean biased posts on the advantages of cryptocurrency get upvoted, while information about its flaws or weaknesses get downvoted or ignored, thus burying those stories for other users."
Many writers on this platform say that the voting and reward system is hindering their natural creativity. It's creating a pull towards the cryptocurrency topics and away from topics that they know well. Until this site because more broadly representative of more people and different voices, it will be biased towards crypto issues.
Good exposure!
Downvoted not because I don't consider this a useful high quality post or because I disagree with it, but because I don't believe the interests of Steem are served by every platform update or request for feedback from the developers receiving hundreds or thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to other posters.
There a new feature in the 0.8.0 release which addresses your concern: the ability to post without receiving a payout.

As a strategy voter, it's hard to make a decision on whether up-vote dan's posts.
Perhaps the bots know more than me..
