I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head in your last paragraph.

Quality is somewhat subjective. Different audiences want different things. Some want your in depth analysis of how many times @johndoer123 has used the letter X in comments in the past year, while others are more interested in looking at your feet. The rest are probably somewhere in between.

So long as posters aren't plagiarising (and some would add blatant bid bot abuse to this as well), then if Steem is to be a social community hub, there is a place for all types of posts.
