I think this problem will likely start to go away as we introduce better ways for people to see personally curated content. Unless you have a lot of followers, it is hard for your post to gain any traction. I am working on a feed that would show you posts that were upvoted by people you follow. So far it's been a lot better at finding good content than any other of the built in feeds. I just posted about my proof-of-concept here.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
