I admit that out of my 12 posts I have published during these past 6 days (since I became a "lion"), 11 of them have been about LEO or Hive in some sense. 2 of them have been "power up posts". Personally, I would say that the majority of my posts so far have value, because the end goal have been to educate, encourage and/or inspire people to market LEO and Hive in a better way than we're used to see. It is also due to the fact that I feel motivated, encouraged and I have quickly become a huge fan of LEO. (Everything I have published has not reached the trending pages though).

The same goes for the posts about engagement & self-votes. I have focused much on the importance of engagement because I truly don't want to see LEO go down the same route as both Steem and Hive. Engagement matters, and I have showcased my own results and I've been talking about it because of that, and to kick-start some more engagement.

That being said, I totally agree with the things you said. I don't want to see 10 out of 10 LEO posts sitting on trending, even though I actually believe that some of these posts are good to have on trending as they are literally the first articles a new user will see. I mean, some sort of "testimonials" to prove that LEO is a great thing is nice for new users to see, regardless of how much advertising they've seen.

I often push my content outside of LEO and Hive as well, so having "information-type" of articles about LEO/Hive is perfect when it comes to advertising, but it obviously depends on how you do things. A well-written article about "PayPal going crypto" could just as easily be promoted if done right. That would draw attention from the masses as well..

On a side note though, it's easy to write stuff about something when it either flourish or burns. The middle-ground doesn't really attract content consumers. And for new LEO users, writing about LEO is probably one of the easiest things you can do.
