But you also have to realize that content is not exact or clearly defined. Mining is simple from a pattern perspective, you complete hashing algorithms and get rewarded for it. With content, if people up vote someone baking cupcakes today will not be what makes it to the front page tomorrow. And if there is a flood of content like you suggest, it will constantly have to evolve to keep the voters interested. If everything is the same, voters will not up vote it. Take example some of these people copying articles... there are some article references that do $10,000, but now there seems to be a lot less. I have seem people bulk posting these types of articles and they are getting fractions of pennies from you or me who up votes him.

True, its not as clearly defined as mining. But it does allow you to coordinate your efforts. Instead of spreading out your votes the entire bulk of the groups steem power would go behind each post and upvote. That would give it a bigger chance of succeeding and not being lost in the fray.
Interesting, I thought you were implying you could create $10,000 content if you create enough $.01 content. Well it could be reality. Thanks for sharing your views on the platform. Cheers!
You are talking about pools I am referring to the sweat shop of posters. If that was a thing you could do the same thing on youtube, the issue with that is even if you did that you cannot predict what people will want. Minecraft let's play? No one anticipated PewDiePie to become a success, Markiplayer? Leafyishere? I don't know a lot of famous you tubers, but the idea is it isn't a formula, it might be once you are popular, but I am sure if there was a sweatshop way of doing it and making huge pools of money then companies can already do that with so many platforms. Cheers!
Oh, I misunderstood you. Ya I agree that wouldn't be the best way to create content that worked. What I meant by sweat shop was just that everyone got paid pennies for posting. Even if they were amazing articles. Not necessarily that they were forced to work in a shop churning out crap all day like actual sweatshops. But who knows.
