I think that's a very useful idea @lexiconical and I did my part to support you by upvoting this post on SteemFollower. We must do more to retain newer users sharing original content.
I was getting frustrated myself due to seeing the many copied and pasted articles doing so well on Steemit, while my work which I spent hours researching and writing them were pushed down under the flood of copycat fluff.
I'm glad we have the senior users and bots to try to stay on top of that. Let's let great original content shine!

We all go through this phase. I've spent hours on a post that made 7 cents. You must remain persistent, network as much as possible, and continue producing quality if you wish to succeed.
Like anything else worthwhile, it's not easy.
