The whole point of the platform is that people are paid based on what others like. If you want to see less content about Steem and more about philosophy, for example, stop voting for Steem content and start voting for philosophy content. Or better yet, start creating the content that you want to see! Steem is completely open, so make it what you want it to be!

It is hard to get the new people in to write about the arts though when they come to steem and all they see is posts about steem. Offputting. Makes you think 'am I wasting my time just to be dismissed?'. See some of the comments here. People are allready giving up. You need to be welcoming to outsiders. Encourage them to make steem more diverse.
Sorry only agree to a certain extend. An advice to new steemians:
If you want to write about your garden, plants, pets, life, your ramblings about random, be my guest. But if you want to write in technical areas which clearly is not your expertise but think you can profit from that area, i suggest you do not try. Already spotted people here (don want to mention name) writing things that they are clearly not expert in, spinning something out of nothing, writing totally flowery language and most importantly CRAP, and strangely got a lot of upvotes. I was totally pissed off by that. very insincere article but i upvoted it, hoping he will revise the article with elaboration but he just did not. TOTALLY REGRETTED the upvote.
My gut feel is that real-life experts with real expertise will not come in to blog and share about their experience here after seeing that. But i think their experience will be much more valuable for steemit. In the long-term, it is not good for him because in time to come, everything will be still on blockchain and people will know he is just writing crap. Also not good for steemit because steemit will be known as a place where fake experts write things that are clearly crap.
I dun want to say this because i always try to be nice but this incident made me lose confidence in the platform.....
