Better filtering in anyway would be an improvement to steemit. I am starting to write my own steem browser dapp that will allow people to have more filtering options. So filtering by a user's SP could possibly be an option.
I think another solution to the spam problem is to increase max upvote from 2% to 100%. This removes the requirement of making 50 posts per week to maximize your steem power usage.
I'd happily pay $25 if it helps my content get noticed by actual engaged Steemians like you guys.
Also Google Search behavior shows that people value longer content more.
There is a strong incentive to produce well researched articles because they will climb the rankings.
There is little incentive for newbies to create longer comprehensive content here on Steemit. It encourages a hit and run approach where you content either sinks or floats. Either way you move on and pump out more.
I would like to see a rewards system that encourages more evergreen quality content.
That would let people focus on quality and networking over quantity.
I'm not sure if 100% vote power option is a good idea. It could discourage curation....leading to Steemit influence monopolies.
Frankly, the current system seems to be designed to add numbers to the members' pool.
A kind of get rich quick social media outlet.
If the marketing department of Steem.it were to drop leaflets on the slums of Mumbi that would accomplish the same thing we are experiencing.
Quality content is quickly vanquished.
I think a premium content space, as opposed to a promoted space, would work.
Getting the message to someone who will support this is the next step.
Thank you for your comment.
