It's funny how you can look right at something and not see it. When I finally understood the impact such austerity was having and spoke up, there was instant pushback. That's when I realized how entrenched the thinking had become. GMuxx and I put on our admin coats to deal with it, and let's just say that was not well received. 

We will always take a hard stand on quality writing. We'll always consider work published on the blockchain to be "published" in a most official sense. We will never tell someone their work is ready for public consumption when it's not. To do otherwise would be doing them a disservice. But that doesn't mean we don't want inexperienced and struggling writers among us. That's why the Block exists. We all faced the same learning curve. Writing is hard. It isn't a jumble of thoughts that leap from the brain to the page. This is particularly true with commercial writing, or any form or writing we expect payment for. But TWB is here to help. When that help becomes unobtainable for those reaching out for it, then we're no better than the mainstream publishing industry we're trying to reshape.
