Is the problem that the podcasts and articles are getting 10 or 20 sats upvoted from an account or two with trust, or is the problem that quality posts aren't getting even a half dozen upvotes and on average well under $0.05 (~100 sats) tipped (which, if it they were getting 100 sats, that would cause them to be vaulted up above the posts with $0.01 (~20 sats))?

For the amount of sats airdropped daily (yield), seeing essentially just five or ten upvotes max on most "quality" posts even indicates 99% (or whatever) of visitors are essentially stacking only and not upvoting content they like and want to see more of.
