I agree, the biggest weakness steemit currently has is the filtering and following limitations. That being said, this is in no way a finished platform and it's only a single part of the steem platform and network as a whole. The devs are actively reading and responding to feedback and hopefully in the end we get an amazing platform that changes the world. If we don't, I won't be wondering what if I had kept my steem powered up (basically staking for longevity). I am not opposed to profiting off steemit by any means, but I am mainly here for the proof of concept and enjoy most of the content created by the user base. If we all continue to point out where we think steemit could be improved, I believe Ned and Dan intend to develop things in that direction. They have no incentive to not promote platform longevity and if they were going for a quick cash out they could have done so already.

I like this idea.

I beat you by 4 days and my concept is more practical, and lays out a route to develop it. And the devs want to talk to me about what I have been proposing. Ok, pardon my gloating. Really, it is unseemly.
In fact I have been saying since my whale-smackdown, that user-customisable filtering is the critical ingredient that will solve the biggest problems on Steem at the moment.
