The room full of bloggers example was my way of explaining how the supply of actual blog content is not that scarce and therefore not that valuable. And it becomes even less valuable with competition. Since we have massive competition on the internet, prices will be driven down to the absolute lowest point. That price point is probably in the single digits, certainly not thousands of dollars. I think that's what we can expect in the future.
I love the idea of posting pools. That might be necessary someday. Much like it is in mining. If you pool your Steem Power together and then post articles produced from your posting pool users and upvote with the full power of the pool you could actually compete and get paid even if you were a small fish. I dunno how the payout structure would work. Probably based on how much Steem Power you provided and bonus if your article gets used. It would be a good way to focus efforts. You could be going up against billion dollar companies with billions in Steem Power.
