Personally? I would probably deal with it by just muting people spamming garbage posts. I'd love for them to burn SBD to promote their shitposts though. Muting them = I don't have to look at it. It's no different than having people spend tons of money sending garbage to the top of trending currently, sure some bidbot owners are blacklisting obvious garbage now, but look at the situation we ended up in last time someone sent a post to the top of trending about sucking their own dick... it took days of basically begging whales and bidbot owners to flag/remove votes. Neither system is perfect, but one does increase the value of the other tokens on the platform.

What we could do is to create a soft-consensus "group of Steemians" who is in charge of muting/removing promoted posts.
Last time I brought anything like that up, @ned seemingly implied that was the purpose of the whole Communities/Oracles updates. Ultimately I guess we'll just have to see if those come about though, but I agree it would be great to have a way to remove junk without having to run my own front end. Different front ends already have the option to curate their own content and get rid of spam, but that doesn't fix the "flagship."
