I think the main issue in the future will be finding and promoting good content; so much is getting lost. I hear there is a community feature that is being worked on by #curie. They will have a built in audience as so many have been helped by them and they have prominent steemians in leadership roles.

I still insist when the bots are used, Steemit detects it, then moves the posts away from hot and trending and puts them under the promoted tab. That way the content that is receiving true high ratings due to being popular with the people gets seen. Why Steemit insists on placing advertisements in with actual content baffles me. EVERYWHERE else on the internet the ads are marked as ads and they are kept separate.
Well they are also draining the reward pool, so might be a good idea, but do some curators use bots? If it wasn't for curators I might not still be on the platform.
Some people auto vote me. They come and view posts later. Nothing wrong with that. It's just those the paid vote services should have to register their service so their bots are detected. Those are the ones causing all the problems.
Now THAT would be a great idea. I haven't been on Steemit for very long (12 days), but the bot thing is confusing and annoying. I wondered why so many boring posts were trending. Now I understand.
