If you're an investor who actually buys STEEM, does the popularity of "pick games" attract you?
If I'm an investor, I don't care if the games are "popular" or not. I don't make investment decisions based on my social media content preferences. I look at valuation, potential ROI, and other key fundamentals of investing. What you're asking isn't really a question for "investors."
However, as an investor, I will gauge sentiment about the general product I'm investing in. If I see a bunch of negativity emanating from long-term stake-holders/users and see that their behavior can dampen new user or potential user enthusiasm for the platform by continually attacking popular content or successful users, I might take that into consideration. Enthusiasm and expectations play a big role in creating, developing, and marketing a product. If those are being skewed due to a lack of forethought or understanding of the actual product, then that's a problem - and it will likely cause investors to at least hesitate, or possibly refrain from investing at all.
