That will make it so that the supply of liquid STEEM will fall as more and more successful SMTs are launched.

Spending time in the "new" section is a fools errand

lol exactly, each seconds close to 10 different post are been generated and spending time there, will be no use, picking a specific tag, just like what you did with photofeed its likely the only way out. if only we had quite a considerable of amount of users with high enough sp, specialize on different tags, curating problem will prove to be no more.
