i dont think too many people are writing about steem. I do think, however, too many of them make trending in contrast to any other type of post. why is this? because the people who tend to write about steem are whales, or wanna be whales. they know that writing about steem will get you large upvotes, compared to say, writing about what you just made from your hands and imagination. I don't mind people supporting good content. I do mind them being blinkered about it, and people upvoting only posts that will make them really good curation rewards, regardless of the worthiness of yet another post about the latest steem on-dit. By the fourth post about steem engines new update, it really ceases to become original material.

I don't think you can compare another post about steem to an original ed sheeran song. if you made that steem post into a song, even if ned sang it, i doubt that it would make anyones playlist.
