As a community @earthnation channel for our minnow Guild members, I support this.
One of the common things I find assisting new members are retention and consistency. If they could see reasonable monetary gains starting out as well as see their posts not buried because of ridiculous boosts and upvotes then it would encourage them start posting/mirroring and monetise content that would not otherwise elsewhere.
For Steem and Steem Dollars to have real long-term value I echo what's already been proposed. Look around! Categories need diversity. Topics (regardless of whales, boosts and monster upvotes) need to be shuffled around so the cool gems get noticed. Algorithms need applying here. Something to Twitters app could do wonders to spread things around.
Without any of this, only the whales benefit and Steemit loses quality content in the mix by potential newbies who lose interest. Content that could attract even more site adoption. Something has to give in order to allow newbies to ditch other websites to come here as their main.
