Have you seen @truthtrader posts? He is tracking haejin portfolio to check How good he is.
Also, your should see what @tradergurl write. Now what she write is some real good Trading advice.
Anyway, there is a lot of issues here on steemit, but i see one of them that looks like the bigger one.
There is an lack of balance in the Power.
As steemit is working right now, whoever have more money, have the control. According to @arcange statistics, there is only 29 whales, and with the amount of sp that these accounts have, they can totally Control what Will be rewarded around here (not 100% but probably pretty close). And this is a big issue on a platform that is sold as a decentralized social media. It isnt. Power is concentrated in Very few hands.
If these 29 whales wanted, they could selfupvote, and flag most of the posts to keep the rewards for themselves.
That create a barrier to people that Join, do a few posts, never get attention, and then leave. We probably Lost a lot of good writers.
Why not make minnows votes be worth more? If steemit thrive, most of the users Will be minnows, and steemit Will have a really bad retention rate, because they wont get much from the platform.
Clearly, there are a lot of challenges with this platform - as you address well. Solutions...? I dunno man. There are a lot of people with a lot of ideas, though as to how to actually filter out and implement the best...? 🤔
