I did one Minnow Rising post, and I plan on doing more to highlight new writers who produce good content......there are so many, so I have trouble finding them, actually.

Given your status on this platform, posts like those go a long way to keep new users spirits high and the determination to keep on posting. But as you rightly say, how many times can this be done by so few influential individuals?
We are fast approaching 70,000 users. Imagine when that number reaches hundreds of thousands. Let's watch this space for now. But posts like this one throwing out ideas to improve the situation is definitely a positive step in the right direction and raises more awareness of the issue.
I think this is a really good idea, and appreciate you doing this. You are doing great things for the community, and helping more content producers get noticed and seen by more people.
I do tend to lean more towards the camp that feels more needs to be done to recognize and reward content from good unknown content producers.
I agree people shouldn't come with the exception of making quick and easy money, and that it takes time and work to be noticed, but we as the community need to make that process as smooth and enjoyable as we can for the ones that are doing that.
If good content producers post quality content for months, and keep getting pennies per post, while the same group of 'popular' people keep making hundreds and thousands per post (often with sub-par quality content) the newbiees are going to leave.
