RE: WHY ARE SOME OF STEEMIT BEST WRITERS LEAVING? ARE YOU FEELING IGNORED? WHAT CAN WE DO TO INCREASE RETENTION OF CREATIVE WRITERS? DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR SIMPLE SOCIAL POSTS? HOW CAN WE BALANCE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE CONTENT?

Agree 100%. I was slow to support steemsports because it didn't fit the mold of rewarding "quality original content creators", but when it comes down to it, why should we decide using a label what the market prefers. Let people use their votes to support what they like, "quality" or not. Ultimately that market is likely to be the greatest strength of this platform, not a weakness.
