I think what happens is new people start off writing about a wide variety of things. Then they find out that nobody reads and votes for those types of articles. Then they do some research and find out that the articles that get upvotes are about steem, so that's what they write about. It is a vicious circle.

On Brexit day I did a live blog, but I think it earned about 50 cents and made the front page in the evening (after all the action was over!). I did the live blog only because I was excited and wanted to record that moment in history. But in normal times no-one is going to live-blog an event all day for for cents when they could write an article about steem in 30 minutes and earn a lot of dosh.
