Not sure how much you have invested, but if the only reason is to make more money, wouldn't it be better to just invest on some cloud mining operation? If you invest some bitcoins in one of those you can make good passive income, instead of babysitting steem 24/7.
Anyway I still think so far this thing is about accumulationg money. The early adopters or " investors" will get the reward. Newbies will be on the base of the pyramid. I can't see this system rewarding good content and the opposite is actually happening.
Now, it's about a lot more than money to me. See my recent entry here https://steemit.com/steemit/@lukestokes/explaining-steemit-to-my-friends-blockchains-and-cryptocurrencies and my intro post to better understand where I'm coming from.
I had someone explain it to me in terms of the 80/20 rule. We see that everywhere. When we try to fight it or force things to act otherwise, it fails. As for what qualifies as "good content" that will depend on how the community grows. It's relatively small right now.
