the eyeballs don't get onto the content without the awareness of curators which is what drives content discovery on this platform. Referring to posts like that as neutral sends the message they should be treated less by curators. The quality of the writing aka the presentation of the message is important. When curating with an eye to content discovery for larger audiences, that needs to count strongly.
On Medium which manages to attract 93million visits a month with a paywall beyond 3 views a month for non-members a post about Medium has to be really well written to even get curated. The team of curators focus on well written content in each topic. They are well aware that is what is bringing eyeballs to the site.
