if the content on the platform is going to contribute to bringing the 'masses' to the platform the variety and depth is what is going to make a difference. 

Any well written post which serves to draw a group of people's interest and keep them here contributing adds value to the ecosystem. 

You might consider personal posts or posts that serve what you think is a small niche to be 'neutral', the fact is those are often the posts that draw the largest response from mainstream audiences. 

The type of post is not near as important as them being well written and well presented.

Sure, but the value isn't in the personal post as much as the ability to gather a larger audience.  I accept eyeballs as a good indicator of value.  So, if the post is about something personal that then gets a lot of attention rather than say it's a neutral because of it's content I'd say it's valuable because of the attention.  Either way I think we get to the same point.  Eyeballs = value.

the eyeballs don't get onto the content without the awareness of curators which is what drives content discovery on this platform. Referring to posts like that as neutral sends the message they should be treated less by curators. The quality of the writing aka the presentation of the message is important. When curating with an eye to content discovery for larger audiences, that needs to count strongly. 

On Medium which manages to attract 93million visits a month with a paywall beyond 3 views a month for non-members a post about Medium has to be really well written to even get curated. The team of curators focus on well written content in each topic. They are well aware that is what is bringing eyeballs to the site.
