I'd assume the problem they're trying to solve is that there is nothing currently bringing value to Steemit. Post quality is dropping, engagement is dropping, users are dropping... If Steemit, inc. won't do anything to encourage adoption it's up to the community to make an effort and that's what I see being done here.

Right. But the problem then isn't that short posts aren't being rewarded. The problem is that the platform sucks for that type of social media use. The problem is development, not rewards and engagement. The latter will come when the former is fixed.
I think that bots have a lot to do with engagement. Newbies are disappointed because nobody reply. Me as curator also. If I find good post bots jump on it and I get no reward.
As a new person to Crypto and trying hard to learn so much, and then investing time making content, I honestly get bummed I work hard and get nothing, no engagement, no reward for most of my stuff. I basically left for 30 days because of this. I make sure every day I sign in here, to share the heck and resteem and upvote good content, I reblog a ton to help others and the site. No real rewards, the weights for things and work makes no sense, -- the average person does not get enough traction or have enough followers to give weight to their case. Just speaking freely. Something is not right here. I would like to see the smart people like all you guys in this post chatting about stuff I don't understand, help. I know you are working on it! TY for your time.
