Links are mentioned in our post as examples of different types of content, but pure links were not the focus of this post. This post is about the community being open to shorter posts as a different type of content. The problem we are addressing is a lack of engagement in the content and a model + community behavior that currently favors only one type of content, which limits Steemit as a social media site. Did we announce any new initiatives or curation guilds? If so, I missed that part.

All my posts can be considered short form, as I post a video, a few lines of original text, and a picture. My posts earn average $5 per post, that's a start, I figure when the value of steem goes up I will earn $50 per post, and that is fair
That is platform-wide and it has little to do with the length of posts.
Well, you did say this in the post:
It may not be an official, new curation guild, but it certainly sounds like a new initiative to identify and curate certain posts by a group of people. I don't know what else we can call this. "Curation guild" seems to fit.

I also upvote some of your posts. I don't discriminate based on how many words you typed. I don't think most other users do it that way either. If we like your content, we'll upvote it.
Besides - it's not the average user that skews the post rewards anyway. And if it's a problem with engagement, well...provide more engaging content. However, we first need to attract more engaging users - which requires the ability to attract users and to retain them.
