Maybe try something different? It's really the market that decides what is "quality content", not the authors themselves.

I've noticed that funny stuff is pretty well received, almost without fail.

Of course you could always make a Steemit circle jerk post.. but I think that's lazy.

I do agree that weird stuff makes it big on Steemit sometimes, often even. But it's all about finding your following, really.

But now you have more than $2. :)
