I love the "aha!" moments, I periodically get, when I find a good quality post that no other curators have noticed yet. Sometimes the post is already 1 hour old, and sitting at 0.01
I'm happy I have enough SP to send it to 0.04.. just to acknowledge the effort and good quality the post has..
I am not saying whales don't do the same thing, and I am sure they do.
But all of us could benefit from more of those "aha!" moments when we find one of those unnoticed, underpaid posts and get the attention it deserves.
I'd also like to see a weekly training show by the founders. Even just a 15 minute youtube. "Steemit tips from the founders".. where they talk about how the ecospace is doing, and where it is lacking.
Especially if they draw attention to examples of bad content, why it is bad content, and why people should down vote it.
Then conversely, show some unnoticed "aha!" moment good content, explain why it is good content, and upvote it live in the youtube video.
That's two "steemit tips by the founders" videos that would cover the next 2 episodes and people could use the ideas as footing strongholds to begin from... while we climb this rockwall named steemit.
As a newbie, I would LOVE to see frequent updates from the founders. Not only could they make company news items, encourage content creators, mention outstanding posts, but all of their interaction would encourage and reassure current and potential steemers to stick with the long term plans and goals. That's how we grow.
