Thanks @hyperfundit, but quality content doesn't seem to matter much. For example, I just published an article on decentralized governance, Dan Larimer's primary concern, the problem he's dedicated his life to solving. It appears to meet all your criteria, but after 4 days it's received 4 votes.
Here it is, please tell me where I'm going wrong... https://steemit.com/eos/@wayviator/decentralized-governance-of-by-and-for-the-people.
