Would you consider adding high value STEM content, research and investigative journalism into the mix. I'm talking about the 15-30 minute Medium article. Here is an example: https://medium.com/personal-growth/the-void-and-i-a-story-about-everything-b41a871ecfc9
Also check out the blog of @alexander.alexis which is the best high quality educational content I have seen on STEEM. I want to see STEEM being known for this type of ultra high value articles. Focusing votes on STEEM related content will make the platform appear too niche.
We need the kind of content that would bring audience from websites like Medium. I would also love to see more long form content (like some of the articles @dan published while he was around) Best way to get more of them is to crate good incentives for them.

You're presenting a very narrow view of what is published on Medium. The articles there range from 1 minute reading time to 45 minutes. Posts over 15 minutes are not common for the most part. They also have a wide range of topics.
If you want to bring audiences from Medium they need to be able to find content across the topic areas like they find over there.
