Honestly, there is no reason not to mention it as it wasn't mentioned in the post. Your comment here could have been used to "fill in the gaps". You chose to attack the messenger instead of taking in the message.
Dude, it isn't an attack, it is simply stating that those who do not agree with you are no less worthy as contributors to a social network which is obviously made up of unique individuals.
Each niche may have various numbers of followers, so it isn't necessarily a bad thing if for example the people who are into idk, lets say "fiction writing" are the largest community utilizing what Steem has to offer.
All the power to them.
If you can appreciate that what you like and appreciate as an individual is just as valid and important to an all inclusive social network as is what other people like and appreciate.
My first impression after reading the post was/is "I think this is right and so should you".
Maybe the first impression was the wrong one, in which case I appologize, but if one person read it that way, maybe others did/do too.
Cheers
Yes, I think this is the right thing to do and if you think otherwise, feel free to let me know and I'll be open to read, but we're most likely having to agree to disagree.
Read my comment, I fully support you expressing your views and am trying to ensure that those who disagree understand that all peoples views in a social network are important and should be respected.
Prevention is the best cure.

I'm fully aware that my post is polarizing and that was my intention. Obviously the reward pool will not be utilized 100% to reward only Steem-Centric content, even my post couldn't achieve that. Every stakeholder has his/her own opinion and this one is mine. And of course, I'm going to curate content that is also not about Steem, but this wasn't the goal of this post to make this clear.
