We are in uncharted territory right now. Whether or not "quality" content is being ignored or upvoted is a) an entirely subjective assessment, and b) impossible to plan against since, literally, no one really knows what will happen next since its all theoretical at this point.
All that can be done is to keep moving as an ecosystem towards expelling destructive developments from the platform while rewarding constructive developments. Even this is wholly subjective since plenty of people can argue about what will be good for the long term interests of the platform.
Even if 51% constructive is rewarded and 49% destructive is rewarded, its still a net gain and better than the alternative.
Just keep building. Keep creating. Keep voicing opinion. This ball has already started rolling down the hill. It's pretty well out of the control of onesies and twosies at this point and organic changes will only get slower as we move ahead.
