I have written a number of posts since I joined Steemit. I love to write about cars (my Porsche, Diablo, and Esprit so far) and real estate. I write unique content on every post and use my own pictures. However, my most popular posts are always about Steemit. I wrote one yesterday about passive income on Steemit and it blew my other posts away as far as interaction.

Why do people want to read post after post about Steemit?
Because almost all of us are here to figure out a new and intriguing way to make money.
Is everyone on Steemit to make money?
Not everyone's sole purpose is to make money on Steemit, but I don't see many people turning down the money either. A lot of people have blogs that don't make money, but they someday hope to be able to monetize it. With Steemit you can make money as soon as you start posting. One of the main points of Steemit is the content producers make the money, not just the creators of the site. The entire Steemit system is based on peoples desire for money, and that is okay.
Money can be an amazing thing if used for good. I have no problem with Steemit being about money as that is what drives most people. I also think money can buy happiness if used right.

Why does everyone want to read content about Steemit?
I tried to write most of my content about things other than Steemit because I see so many other posts about it. But people want more Steemit! They have a fever, and the only prescription is more Steem. Sorry for the overused SNL line. It is easy to see why people are obsessed with Steemit.
People are here to make money and they want to learn how to do that best. Most people are not here to look for interesting content. If you want to make money on Steemit, write about making money on Steemit. It is the same in other industries. You want to make money blogging, write about how to make money blogging. You want to make money on youtube, post content on making money on youtube. The people who made the most money during the gold rush were the ones selling supplies, not the ones chasing gold.
There are obviously other ways to make money on Steemit, but to get the most attention, write about what the people want. I will continue to write about cars and real estate, but I will write about Steemit as well. I like money, but I like to help others as well. If I can do both, awesome.
FYI I have met a ton of cool people here, and while money drives a lot of us, that doesn't mean awesome content about other topics is ignored.
I would love to hear thoughts on what you think.
