Well, the SEO-related content is not "finance or crypto"-related so it doesn't "belong" on LeoFinance, but the focus of the SEO-related content is purely focused on Hive & LeoFinance and to drive more traffic, which in turn leads to growth, more Ad Revenue and increased value of the tokens. At least in theory. That's basically the reasons for this type of content to be okay.
Think of it like this, (at least that's what I'm doing), you can share content that is valuable for others in terms of $ in some way.
Marketing for instance, can definitely be worth $ for people in various ways. The same goes for other business-related things. So even though the focus might not be purely about "save $X by doing this!" or "I made $X from this", it's actually rather easy to create content that leads to $ for someone, to some extent, at some point.
Tips on what we can do to bring traffic for instance, doesn't have to be focused on $ in the content itself, because it leads to $ over time, in theory.
People are doing the "safe" type of content like you said, but they are talking about Hive & LeoFinance in general, because that is what everyone loves and it's easier to earn rewars by doing that.
LeoFinance has started to expand and think differently in terms of what to curate rather recently, which is very refreshing.
Whenever someone is making posts about Hive/LeoFinance, talking about how awesome it is, how much they've made or whatever, that content will be curated more than other types of content. At least 9 out of 10 times, which is very unfortunate, as we need outward-facing content to bring traffic. LeoFinance has started to put a lot more focus on this though, so we're definitely moving in the right direction.
@khaleelkazi and I went back- and forth in one of his posts for instance, talking about rewarding outward-facing content differently, having contests or in other ways encourage people to produce optimized content that brings traffic. It will be very interesting to see where we land with this. :)
