Yes, I totally agree with that. Original content exclusively created for steemit should always be higher rewarded and people should have an incentive for doing so. For instance, I really like the idea of the steemit open mic contest where you have to create a video specifically for the contest

Thank you @raci,
but the problem is how to determine if something is new, things can slide under the radar. I think that "for Steemit content" should also receive more recognition. We see it in contests all the time, but not in the actual posts.
I think it's easier to determine original content if you explicitly call for it (e.g. by having a writing contest, music contest, picture contest) on steemit. Steemit itself as a platform needs to foster creativity by creating contests and conditions that spark creativity.
