My opinion is that this is simply a complete lack of forethought by bounty managers and project teams. Sometimes I write serious, good quality articles, but only for campaigns that aren't flooded with too many shit articles diluting the stakes. As you can guess, I rarely write articles. If I see max stakes awarded to some 300 word foreign language post on SteemIt, you can be assured I'm not promoting that ICO. They can keep that content, and best of luck to them with it.
