I totally understand why people want to figure out what content gets upvoted and write to that. We need to eat! That's what's done 'out there' on blogs everywhere, but the audience is usually much bigger.

It's not all about artsy fartsy express yourself stuff, it comes down to a bottom line sometimes - can I earn a living through this platform? If yes, I will do what I need to do. I understand it. But I think a balance is needed and I want to see people who are just doing their own thing get rewarded consistently.

Best thing to do is to network (its a social network after all) and find your people, and write to them.
