I really love that you are posting to the Steemit Community to get a discussion started!
To me this is very honorable and valuable. There are so many highly intelligent people in this community and a LOT of really good ideas.
I am here because this platform is already awesome with the potential to be revolutionary! Yet it could get WAY better and this is one of the keys to that. Someone such as your self reaching out to the community to actually discuss ideas/solutions for an IMPROVED platform!
Just that in it self gives me great hope for the future of Steemit. If the founders and developers are willing to have honest dialogue and actually truly consider ideas of the community then improve it WILL!
I would offer up that to me the biggest problem with quality content not getting seen and good authors not getting fairly compensated is the curation system.
I see EVERY day posts that get UPvoted before they even get read. I have talked to MANY people who say they UPvote posts JUST to get the curation rewards and I have even see people COMMENT on posts saying "I didn't like this article but I UPvoted anyways because I wanted the curation reward" This is a MAJOR problem. People who are already "rich" are just going to get richer and the vast majority of people are going to use their LIMITED UPvotes to vote for proven money makers and the people at the bottom even if their articles are good won't get UPvotes because no one can make money on voting their post up....
So I am not going to say what SHOULD be done just simply that this is happening and it is NOT good for encouraging quality content from newbies.
Thank you for starting this dialogue and I hope practical and beneficial solutions present them self!
I Love STEEMIT!
Best Regards~
Steem ON~*~
