- It's not up to anyone to decide what good content is, that is what the upvote and downvote buttons are for.
- If you are a creator, you create depending on your personal goals.
- I don't see why you are talking about "social" content, STEEM blockchain is agnostic of the content and the media type its expressed in.
right the utility one gets from content is normally distributed. Taste, moral, intelligence, creativity, is also normally distributed. Youtube became such a success because the content exploration was dependent on that kind of social distribution. Initial wealth is extreme-unequal (Pareto) distributed. Content exploration is plutocratic and does not reflect the normal opinion but the opinion of a few. Since they vote their own content it reflects often nothing but their ego. The result is that nobody cares. People only comment under high ranked articles because it is the only chance to get visibility of the social conversation.
Steemit is not about oppression, its about freedom and we, the customers (users, authors and readers) will win because the success of steem is dependent on the use and this is at least a democratic consense. And they know that their time has come :) The German-European election was disrupted by some YouTubers and now politicians are on hate and censorship mode, but they will have no chance.
Steem will moon when the customer is king. Like Jeff Bezos said in 1999.
