Interesting point about playing the game. I used to come to Steemit and I would browse through the "New" posts and try to find good content or people to follow. Slowly, I would see more and more accounts "greyed out" or with bad reputations. Nearly every page actually. A lot of posts would be low effort or copied/pasted content.

This kind of made me lose interest and now I just support those I follow and I don't really try to branch out and find new content. It's just too difficult to sift through. It's a shame really.

I wish there was a more intuitive way to find interesting content on Steemit.
