I think it's totally OK that we don't fully agree on anything :-)
Question: how would any of these suggestions you've just listed improve the visibility of a brandnew user? I thought we were talking about a minnow problem, but voting algorithm, post limits or payout shares are not really effecting someone who has a reputation of 25+ and wants to grow.
Instead of trying to rearrange the rewards distribution, we probably should rather think about a bigger picture: how to make time spent on steemit valuable?
Sorry, the suggestions I listed are top ones to make Steemit a fairer platform not necessarily improve visibility of brand new users.
My entire comment was more related to your point of creating value which could be discussed for months. I think this is based on the perception of users what they see as a value. We only talk about what creates Value for Steemit, usually what users see as value. This does not necessarily mean it creates any Value for Steem as a currency, different things.
Before I start to elaborate for hours why I do not see value in particular posts let us maybe agree that it requires some open discussion, nowadays we have black or white thinking mainly and wars are never good, flagging of scammer shit is NEEDED, therefore I fully support some Flags when it helps the community.
I remember when I was a young user here and tried to moderate between some powerful whales to stop flagging each other - was a shit idea. I learned that you should rather be silent here before they flag the shit out of you, only sometimes I come to comment my thoughts. Back to work now - need to create value for my customers now.
YES. Agreed :-)
