Steemit content is boring to read. I can barely make it through one paragraph. People want to read wild, crazy, new, smart and fresh material. Steemit love quarrels and whale divorces possess neither of these qualities.

I wouldn't say so - it's quite normal that at this stage people here prefer to write and read about something they are excited about. It will pass naturally, as the excitement settles down.

I think the core of the problem now is that curation is highly inefficient - there are too few people whose vote is meaningful. Therefore creating a tool for delegating voting power should be a priority. Also, having a payout downvote option would make the payouts more evenly spread.
