Truthfully I'm not trying to focus on the "top 1000 accounts" or the most popular posts or the trending news that steemit seems to LOVE to give me. I want to find smaller accounts but even the search system is pretty bad. I and the rest of the people I have trouble finding hardly get enough recognition as it is, so why give extra praise to those that have already succeeded in the system who can make a living from their blogging?

I agree that content discovery is very poor here, I have said that since the beginning. Part of the purpose of Steem Ocean is to get around that problem and more features will be coming to address that in the future. The original service there was the voter rank table which attempts to order Steem users by their level of generosity, with the size of their wallet being able to be offset by the amount of accounts they upvote, for example. This has allowed the most generous users to be seen, regardless of their wallet size.

It is curation that is intended to solve the problem of post discovery and I have a plan to improve that too, but it is quite a big project.

Yeah. Looking forward to seeing what you do. Not nearly enough of us like and resteem for decent content discovery.
