I think the real question is, is this article worth $1100 dollars? I don't see many people from Karachi on Steem and its not really a hot tourist location so is this information worth that much? At the end of the day posts that add value should generate this sort of money, Who decides this value? The Whales ofcourse. Since the massive decline in the value of Steem following the allegations that Steem is no more than a platform that's used to promote Steem (a sort of infomercial) that users now only post good things about steem to get upvoites from the Whales, now there seems to be collusion among the whales to upvote articles that are ethnically diverse and "Exotic" like the tag suggests to try and save the platform.
