Hi @hitmeasap, thanks for the good read. I wondered if (when?) a keyword research tool becomes available to Steemit a sort of half way point would be met here. With that tool articles could be made to relate to content that people want information on but can't find (or is of low quality) and hence authors could tailor their articles to known need (hence have an increased revenue potential). But this then doesn't discourage 'passion' posts that aren't targeted but of more of direct interest to the author itself.
