Hi @calaber24p i´m completely agree with you, I know that are still developing the application of new features to steemit, as we saw yesterday with the function Promote I think it will be helpful for novice like me can promote their post and be a little more visible.
I think another good function is that we would be able to share the content we like
not only with external social networks we should be able to do it with our followers right here in steemit, This can be helpfull for novices to get a wider audience.
For example, if I make a post and a few dolphins upvote and they share it with they followers here in steemit, it would give much more visibility to my post, which generally would be lost at the bottom of the trending page.
