Word count? Why word count?
There has to be some requirement put in place by writing sites to discourage people from posting a lot of worthless material, almost "literary spam. " None of us wants to waste our time having to sift through a bunch of stuff where the person that wrote it has no concern over its quality. This keeps the people that invest time and caring into their work from being read.
This ultimately ruins the site and if they have advertisers, the advertisers will leave. As for the number 300 or 400 or 250 or what ever the word count is, that is really arbitrary. That is just the number the site decided they would use as a cutoff.
Note that over time, as a site attracts better and better writers, that number will go up. Finally, where a site offers prepayment for articles the minimum word count may be what the editors have determined is the minimum that will create a quality article. At various sites I write at, sometimes calls require different word counts and that is their way of saying how much of an in-depth article they want.
This is a great question and I hope this answer helps.
