Hi, it's just a question of what you're looking for.

Some people are here on Steem for long blog articles and won't be interested by this kind of content. Maybe a good idea would be to create a front-end that select that kind of posts.

But must Steem be reserved for "writers" ? I don't think so. Instagram has 1 billion active users and it's only photos with little texts. A lot of content on Steem is already "short" content (at least 90%), and going this way we only got 60k active users (most optimistic estimations). Maybe it's time to look at what works and do it.

Steemit is a social media, and social media is about sharing content with your followers, whatever this content is. We think democratizing "short" content on Steem is the best way to attract new users (as a large majority of the population isn't writers or researchers). But it's like any other social media, if you used your followers to long worked articles, the change might surprise them and provoke unfollows. But if your followers are here because you take nice photos, or publish impactful thoughts, or just share your everyday life, then you won't have any problem.

For videos, a lot of people are already on Steem and only posting from YouTube or DTube only. So it won't change anything, it's a just a question of what you used your followers to, as in any other social media.
