I think it really depends on what your goals are on Steemit --> If you want to try and build as much SBD/Steem Power as possible, that will influence which direction you go.

Unfortunately, some topics get a lot more love than others regardless of the quality of the content.

For me personally, I would love to see the coding community blossom here on Steemit. From what I've seen though, these posts get very little traction in the community.

Best of luck - I hope you choose the topic that excites you everyday.
