I think the issue if creating good content should be readdress. Many people don't take time to write good content anymore because people don't read post anymore. Majority of upvotes are from bots and trails. Someone once said, steemit is now a community if bots.
Also, majority upvote and read posts on the basis of who the now.
@fatherfaith Yeah, I usually vote on comments that give me solid proof that they read the whole thing... you are right, not a lot of people are reading posts anymore...
