It's no secret that here on Steemit, sub quality content often gets more upvotes and make more money than quality posts. The stuff that makes it on the trending page is often just content with money behind it and not quality content, or just posts by powerful members on Steemit.
I saw a post this morning which perfectly illustrates this problem.
The made a post this morning which I think may have been some auto posting glitch as it only says "Hodgetwins ZAP - 20180411t141651271z" in the title and "some mo blockchain action!!!!" in the post. This post got 32 upvotes and made $2.45
Then we have quality long form content like this post by which is actually a quality post, longer form content, and actually very interesting, and it earns $0.27 cents and gets 8 upvotes.
Now I realize not everyone has the same taste, but there's no reason a glitch post should earn more than a quality post. Yes I also realize people use upvote bots and this is why this likely happenend as I doubt anyone would actively upvote a glitch post, but this just further highlights the problems with Steemit.
