Now that there's a new 'bounties' system we can solve this problem: there's No Flow in Steemit
Now you always have to go 'back' to another tag page, you cannot jump from post to post ... there's no flow.

There is no point in doing an automatic system of related posts, because inevitably it would pull in the vast majority of posts that have been published over a month before, and hence arn't eligible for further payment.
However, there is nothing stopping people from listing their own related posts at the bottom of articles.
why cant older posts still be voted on ?? seems a shame really !! Would give more hope for smaller accounts that their posts may get voted and read if they were readable and votable ad finitum !!
yes well this veiw similar content button would serve this very purpose as the algorithim of steemit would put its hand in "PANDORA,S BOX " and pull up someones post or maybe more a list of subjects which could satisfy the readers desire to read and see more of this sort of content. This could blow the thing wide open and in so many ways , giving an organic and lucky bag feel to research !! More fun, more content exposure, end of circle jerking voting and improved user experience. All in possibly one button !! I, m feeling very proud of myself right now !! Eureka !! ; - )
ok i see , but this idea could be functional for how long before the cut off point would be required, any ideas ?? 30 days of increased visibility through this new button, could be a real shot in the arm for authors who are struggling to get noticed in new, active and trending sections no ?
i have to say that i do agree with your idea on the lack of flow !! I find it difficult sometimes navigating from one area of subject interest to another !! I think the thing could be improved by using the keywords submitted by the author to group other articles in the same subject and vein as the article the reader is currently reading. . Using the title or even better still the content of these older articles in the archives of the blockchain could be pulled up by the reader for further investigation or enrichment. So this " view similar content " button could take the reader to other authors posts where the reader could see other veiwpoints or contents of similar nature !! Im not a programmer, but i studied multimedia design and conception at Paris Sorbonne back in the mid nineties and the buzz word back then of importance then was " Arborescence " or the navigational routing of a site,, to make side doors to other places in the page without having to leave by the main menu again, the possibility to navigate " horizontally " somewhere else while still searching similar content !! So in short a new button on every post for " view similar content " This would i think then take people away from more visible trending or say promoted pages to other lesser known till now invisible authors who by their choice of keyword might get lucky and fall on a whale !! or even little me !! ; - ) Steemit could be an incredible library and we just need to nail the subject navigation devices, for me the answer and key to this problem is the keywords submitted by the author !! Steem Up and On !!
This is not a bad idea. It would be something like what Amazon does, when you see the suggestions for "customers who bought this book also bought..."
I would appreciate having a feature like this.
hello @cryptomancer, please I know you were here when i posted my comment about the idea for a " related content ", button, one that you liked yourself and up voted me for. It seems now this character @luminousvisions has since hijacked my idea and now purports to all that it is his and does not even mention me in this newly trafficked post !! you know this not to be the case !! please can you witness this story ??
I don't care to get in the middle of an argument between you two. I don't see any edits to the post and the screen shot was there the first time I read it, so I guess I never saw the original version. I think your idea was about having a button which would open up a new page showing the links, whereas in this sample screenshot the links are displayed right on the original post. The two ideas are complementary, just two sides of the same coin.
yes im sure it would !! wow !! hehehe !! there is life in the old dog yet !! ; - ) thankyou for upvotes on this idea les gars !!
eh bien !! vive La France sur notre Blockchain adoree !! ; - ) Je suis anglais mais j,ai abandonne mon pays et parti chez vous a vivre mieux !! la meilleure chose que je suis decider dans ma vie certe !!
je sius envoye un link de ce post @Ned !! On verra bien !! ; - ) cest du bon boulot je pense les gars !!
salut mon ami !! ca va au paradis ?? eh b ien jai pas eu un response a le message jai envoyer a Ned ?? Tu as essayer a la joindre la desoous non?? Jai vu que tu as aussi poste un link pour elle !!
well this is a good sign then as if he see,s what we see then it surely can be put to work !! lets see how this goes !! ; - )
i have tried to join your chat it seems to be locked !! michiel.van.kets is correct ??
well i have to say i am a little surprised to see that you completely changed your original post on the problem of Flow in Steemit navigation.Where i suggested that the solution to this being a " related content "button with attachments to key words in older posts !! To see that you have now reedited your post completely around my idea for this button but with no mention of the fact that it was my idea !! surely being in a community you could have at least mentioned that the idea came from @gomeravibz in your reediting of the post !! seems only fair no?? I feel bad saying this, but right now i have the impression that you have taken my solution to the problem of flow which was clearly there and are suggesting that the solution that i gave freely in good faith and with desire to exchange, is now somehow yours !! please can you at least admit to the community from where this idea that you have so brilliantly illustrated now, actually came from !! Merci Comrade !! But i am happy really you managed by this post to get attention for the idea which clearly the site and especially new and little unknown users might profit from !!
and you sir are a liar and a brigand and i shall make it known if you continue along this path of insanity i promise you !! it was my idea and you know full well !! Luckily for me you were not able to edit the comment section also, which is for all to read showing where the seed of this idea you expertly sell as your own comes from. You merely immediately changed your post realizing it was a winning idea i gave to you stupidly it would seem now !!that right there is disgraceful really. As for your concept for the fellowship of dolphins.... well clearly there are dolphins and their are sharks, i think you are more the latter !! this is truly disgraceful i have to say !! for all to see here, especially i hope @ned who i hope saw my message to him as sson as i posted this comment which i will repost here , please if you want this to be a community and fair one at that look into this matter as this is clearly an abuse....
my comment on this persons original post before he changed it from talking about a problem of flow to infact this idea of related content button which believe me was not there before at all !!
i find it truly hard to believe that you would behave in ruthless and disgusting manner !! this is not the way or politics of this community of sharing. This is just for me plain theft !! i will not let you off my line now till you are inside my boat !! renounce to your guilt and i cut the line or die here with your bad ways !!

Let's work together to improve the Steemit User Experience !!!! yeah really ??? you do nothing for no one but yourself trou de cul !! !! i see now you have yet again changed your post !! removed all of my comments , you know the ones where i explained to you the solution to the flow in steemit that you yourself had no idea how to resolve but liked to bitch about along with your name calling of Dan !! so yeah suck it up while you can!!
Dear steemsters if you dont understand my anger well i am sorry really, but maybe find the time to read this to find out the reason !

I agree man :)
This post has been linked to from another place on Steem.
About linkback bot. Please upvote if you like the bot and want to support its development.
Maybe instead of just ending it after 30 days, votes from 31-120 days payout 50% of what would have been paid the first 30 days then 25% the next 6 months and just keep going like that.....posts would be good forever
An interesting way of suggesting content would be to do it based on what was also recently upvoted by people who upvoted the post you're reading. It could be stake based.
I think it is a great idea. It could pick related posts by scoring your own and the author's votes and follows to pick the newest posts with overlapping keywords with the current article. This would give quite relevant results I think.
Totally agree, a simple algo to pick up tags and weighting based on popularity, author rep etc
I think so. It's also a good way to both encourage discovery as well, if you add a small factor in of text matches on any pre-24 hour old post, so it opens up a little path out of the you and the reader's feeds bubble.
i have had some more thoughts on the idea i proposed last night !! Would be great if we could talk about them in a live think tank !! Do you have a channel in the steemit chat ? Or do you prefer we discuss this here on the thread ??
There is a clunkiness to the user experience and I can't say for sure if your proposal will fix that, but it seems a step in the generally right direction.
Yes, I agree totally. You would have a hard time finding a site anywhere that doesn't use some form of related posts feature. It's textbook seo strategy, deep link to other parts of your site. Needs to happen here asap.
