I believe that free market will show true price as it should be. Going through content is really hard but its what we minions should do not whales.
When I step on good content I sit down and write, talk to author for in some way my comments give value to them (since my steempower does not)
Last few day I almost haven't touched top posts just new ones. I'm sad when good content doesn't get enought notice but its our fault not whales and doplhins because they upvote good stuff we were suposed to find it first. I see @dan and some other whales often doing our work by upvoting first adn then we all jump to that. thats not how thing should work.
I guess that problem lies in that everyone just write their own stuff in hope to hitg it big and i return no one reads what other have to say unless its upvoted by doplhin and after by whale.
Tunas on other way just create thier stuff so they could become doplhins so they don't have enough time to search the see.
Going through spam is hard and that is why its our job.
Edit: I remembered one where whale indeed did wrong thing, it was that boy from Africa story form yesterday, I can't find it now but just after few mins he recieved 200$, and can't remmember which whale that was that led to 10000$+ payout. In that case that felt bit unfair. If we minons found it I woudln't mind. There is need for minions to vote first and then tunas, dolphins and whales cooming to handout prize. It must work that way to be fair.

Thanks for your insight and detailed answer - it is for a starter always good to hear different views!
The problem (I think) is only that the "minion" vote-power is then way too less if the mass should do the work. That was more or less the reason I wrote this post as unrelated content started to dominate niches - and not even niches, also the top topics. I think it should be work of all of us, not only one group - but when the whales are missing you can forget all as it is useless and has no effective result.
I must agree that curation reward for curation needs tuning , else our efforts compared to payouts are way to low.
I remember finding:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@rubybian/hi-steemit-i-am-ruby
in something like first 20 minutes and being 6-th voter acording to this
https://steemd.com/@rubybian?page=3
and my prize was
curation reward of 0.006 STEEM POWER for rubybian/hi-steemit-i-am-ruby
System is in place and it works just needs tuning. My voting power at that time was maybe low and I was experimenting with voting time. Her blog earned $1,675.07 But even if I found it at perfect spot my reward would still be insignificant since i earn more than that from inflation or interest (not sure which one pumps my steempower, maybe both do).
In a way its like incentive for us to invest more in our steempower but then it is hard to invest if u don't realy believe in it to work i even see that people comming in get 5 SP and i got 10 SP when i singed in. But I hope things will go for better.
Have to agree that it should be our job as well to upvote new and great contents. But downvoting when neccessary will be a key to keep this community fruitful.
At the moment, higher influx of new community members will bring more popularity here, but with limited 'readers' like us, I guess we'll have to deal with more spams then ever, LOL.
I'm just hoping, this system gets adopted by other social media outlets, and let this community be the juggernault that it deserves to be. But lets keep our feet firmly on the ground for now, and see where steemit brings us.
