Respectfully, @craig-grant, I'm still only partially convinced because individuals are still loaning their vote power to a larger entity which is still made up of fewer individuals with discerning tastes and therefore potentially limited interests.
I am partial to individuals doing their part. Pay It Forward. Have a true gift economy where if you see something that is really outstanding, gift them with a little STEEM or SBD with a comment and let them know that you, as an individual really enjoyed the piece. I believe that is more meaningful to everyone involved. And as content creators, we can say it's easy - but for a lot of people coming into Steemit, it's their first time blogging and there are lots of challenges.
