I want to stress out that is not an inherent problem of Steemit but rather how economic dynamics flow in any system. We observe this behavior everywhere in any economy. If you have worked for a large company, you know exactly what I am trying to illustrate.
This is what people tend to forget - what they think are inherent flaws in a social medium system or in the mechanics of a thing are really just how humans operate. Social currency is often more valuable than something that is well-produced or "quality" and that's been true since probably the beginning of human history.
I like the idea of delegation of steem power via tags, then you could have so-called "experts" or "curators" based on category. As steem grows I think it'd be interesting to have more filtering via categorization which will overall I think strengthen the various communities and allow more quality content to rise to the top.
Well said.
