That ranking you mentioned. I think that might be the golden ticket for Steemit.
We need a promotion.
Like in Charlie and the Chocalate Factory the ticket was sought over and the world became obsessed with Wonka.
What if we held a contest. A handful of members are selected to hide riddles in old edited blogs. The winner(s) get a pile of Steem if they find it. This will drive traffic as users pour through pages and pages of posts.

This will also enable old quality content to be tilled up and outright discovered.
Offering it as a contest (for say a thousand or ten thousand dollar prize in steem) for users young and old this will turn the cryptoworld/Internet on its ear.
Bloggers and writers will spend hours writing about how gutsy and amazing we are for opening up the doors and thrusting ourselves into the spot light.
Let's make it happen.
