I agree, and while it's cool that people are introducing themselves and getting into the platform, I can't honestly say I'm that interested in reading them even though they seem like pretty cool people.
One issue is that other than reposted content which I refuse to vote for, there isn't much original articles at the moment outside of introductions and Steemit circlejerk posts, but hopefully that'll change. Of course, there's a bit of a vicious cycle here in that the curators see that these type of posts are earning the most and thus will most likely upvote similar posts in the hopes of earning curation rewards.
I tried creating an original recipe post which I thought was solid but only got around 2 cents worth of votes... lol, so not very encouraging. Perhaps I'll try writing some political articles something to help add some diversity in content.
