I was going to put into the story about how the family isn't always coherent, but thought I would leave that to the comment section. It's a good point, I know that a lot of whales who are way more influencial than me, are concerned about that.
The follow function will help and we are constantly trying to highlight good content, for instance I highlighted somebody's business article yesterday, and he received $800.
It will get better, keep the faith :-)

I think whales should go on an upvoting spree, especially among foreign language posts to spread it further. Then it would be cool if one could boost content with steem, for instance by burning them. Similar to what Synereo does with AMP.
