If we could sort by votes regardless of vote weight. A lot of it doesn't have to do with content, but the way the site is constructed (it's bad on purpose to encourage use of steem, imo) and the poor distribution of steem have scared away many otherwise intelligent participants. So, in a way the inability to find content of worth, or the platform's inability to retain niche content creators who could start their own communities has a lot to do with how content is displayed and how SP or SBD is a necessity to foster content discovery, which isn't a problem that other social media has to deal with. Of course some groups on other sites reverse engineer how people vote, or use voting farms or other tactics, but those problems are everywhere.
Steemit would have to be... not steemit for it to attract the types of users we're hoping to bring in, if that makes any sense. Good content will help, but it's kind of like a persistent bandage over a deeper problem.
