This is a great post, but does anybody else find it slightly ridiculous how many of the top posts in trending are related to Steemit itself? How many topics on Reddit are directly related to reddit and getting this much love?

The FIVE Winning Ingredients For A Highly-Rewarded Steemit Post: What Makes A Story Successful
there is valid reason for this...
(and do bear in mind that the highest-rewarded post so far at over $26k was a makeup tutorial. the story about Beyonce order 150 burritos also got like $8k. neither Steemit-related).
we are building the Steemit community right now.
there's alot of newbies coming onto the site, who need guidance, direction, and assistance in shortening their learning curves.
many of the top-rewarded Steemit posts aren't just hype - they're contributing to users' understanding of the dynamics of this system, the foundational philosophies and culture codes, and the skill sets, attitudes, and social protocols required to be successful on Steemit.
in essence, alot of the well-rewarded Steemit posts are like training & support material - serving to get newbies up-to-speed so they can more smoothly, quickly, and easily adapt to how the cyberspace works and become more valuable contributors to the community.
the more value generated within the community, the farther this project can go. as such, there's great value in content that can serve users to learn how to navigate this platform successfully - as it's their success that grows Steemit's sustainability.
and by getting hung up on the word "Steemit" in the title - you may have missed the entire point of the article. it's not about Steemit. it's about creating VALUABLE CONTENT.
the principles outlined above are equally as applicable for ANY sort of content, be it writing or podcasts or YouTube videos - posted on a blog, Facebook, Medium, or published in a newspaper or magazine.
I've tailored it towards Steemit because I have a great interest in seeing Steemit succeed. And for Steemit to succeed, it needs to be abundant in high-quality, highly valuable content. the better content people create, the better the entire community will do. I COULD have left any mention of Steemit out of the titles or body and focused it just on creating valuable content - but the dots need to be connected for some newbies to paint a picture of the path forward to both their success on this platform, and consequently for the platform/community itself...
so yea, it gets a bit tedious participating in the #circlejerk and writing alot about Steemit, but there's value to be generated on this topic for those who can help accelerate others' success here - which benefits everyone involved.
and the beauty is, we're still free to write about anything else too, which I do. it's all about balance...

This! We're talking about Steemit so much because we're in the process of learning so much. Everything I didn't quite grasp from the white paper has been answered by a Steemian article about said topic.

I think we could also see this trend changing over time too. Sure talking about Steemit is what is hitting big bucks now but in a few years, re-pasting the same content over and over may not generate the same income. I think this says a lot about originality in writing. The ones who are only here to game the crypto currency system are going to be weeded out through good curation sooner or later. I am starting to get tired of reading the same old thing... How I made 100 Billion Dollars on Steem it in 10 mins.... or I am quitting my job to become funded by Steamit here is how I did it... THese articles, this one included are eventually going to fall aside once folks start to catch on and get bored with the same old stuff. RIght?
