Its up to the Dolphins and whales to actively seek out content creators. But we also need to have people use the platform to simply talk to each other like Facebook as well.

Steepshot is doing well at that. ONO will probably set that standard for "Facebook". A problem is a post needs to be an essay to be worthy of an upvote. This attitude needs to change but Steemit has no bounds. Maybe on EOS simple posts and comments could be capped on rewards so it doesn't get out of hand. Dolphins and Whales won't seek out content. It feels centralised at this point and there's not enough of them that are really supporting niche content to make Steemit a real diverse place for a multitude of people to want to stop by and read / watch stuff.
I think the magic will happen when we get a wave of mid tier plankton you can drop 10-50 cent upvotes en mass. At that point the number of people who enjoy the content will match the value of the post.
One of the things right now that is going on is that steem power is very top heavy. Even someone like me who is just an early adopter is in the top 1% of steem power some insane crap like that.
But if we can get a nice layer of plankton on to the site then it will be more of a meritocratic environment.
For now I stick with people I know from the start and help upvote so we journey this together. Curation is weird as there's no return, better to support friends (who post good stuff).
