Upvoted because I think it's a good discussion to have. To me, it's about relationships. Have you built any relationships with those who have influence in this system they themselves spent months and years building? Some of the solutions you propose here (rank by votes, etc) would be easily manipulated by bots, so it's a little more complicated. That said, the GUI is now open source so anyone can build a competing steemit.com if they believe the data should be organized a different way.

I was wondering how to use open source. So my same password could log into another version of the site who might organize post differently and then I could vote, manage my account from that site? How could I trust a clone with my password?
No if someone span off a clone version you would have to register with that again. It would be a completely different site. Only the software base would be the same.
Thanks.
I think building relationships becomes more difficult as more people join. There are a lot of people trying to get the attention of whales, there is simply no way for everyone to build a relationship with them and it wouldn't be fair to expect it.
That's why it's best to just build those relationships with likeminded people.
Yes bots are a growing issue and it is difficult to deal with them. Every solution has it's own caveats. The platform is still young hopefully these things will gradually get ironed out as it develops more.
