To be honest, content creation itself probably isn't the future of the Steem blockchain - not directly anyway. (Hopefully) When the SMTs finally arrive, many of these dApps can build their own tokenised systems on top of Steem, with their own new rules. It may then become more exciting for content creators since those dApps could create a system where reward is related to quality of content.

What that means for now is that people with high Steem power can rent it to these dApps, and make revenue from interest + dividend payments, but can also go create on these new projects. They might not be as powerful on those SMT systems as they are on Steem. Likewise, there would be no high SP bullies on there, in theory :)

For now, best to just create as usual and have fun.
