There is just one problem with this master plan of yours.

A lot of people here has a misconception about the quality of posts.

They don't see any reason why their posts are of sub-quality/(not the HuffPost quality).

There will be strict guidelines for post submissions. Look at any legitimate publication for countless examples.

So the thing is, unless we have some whales, who are serious content consumers, nothing can be done to improve the quality of posts here.

No. The writers are not writing so the whale has something interesting to read while he takes a shit. They're doing it to create massive amounts of content for him around a certain niche that can be monetized in dozens of ways IN ADDITION TO the payouts from SBD/SP.

BTW, I love people who are looking for solutions instead of just complaining, and you tried for a good solution, so cheers!

Yay. Go me.
