How to fix steem promoted posts + 5 SBI giveaway
Have you looked at the promoted tab recently? Of course you haven't. Everybody knows how useless it is.
Who cares about promoted posts?
Noone, but it would be great if we could. So here's a simple idea that could probably fix it completely: insert promoted posts across personal steem feeds. Distribute them to us logged in steem users according to how much STEEM was used.
Pretty much just like the inserted ads we already get on our feeds, except people would have to burn steem to get that promotion. Add a "promoted with steem" pin thingy next to their title and it's good to go. Finally, a decent reason to burn steem again.
Maybe this could even finally end bidbots.
The picture above shows all of the promoted posts at the time of this article's submission. Sad, isn't it? We'd finally have a strong reason to burn steem.

I think promotion should have their own divisions with respect to tags. Suppose I am a gamer and play steem and non steem games. So I would not mind browsing and reading games related posts in promoted section. So, if they categorise the promoted section with tags, it will be easier for us to look for the posts only matches our interest.

That is literally what we already have, though.
Whenever i click on promoted, it shows posts with all the tags. How to sort it?

Go to the tag first. I.e., click here #gaming then click promoted.

I think this initiative is a good as it will not just help people who has promoted a post earn, but it will also make enough people see them and also read them. This will make promoted content worth it and will attract many people to use the promotional service.
Thats all I think on the idea.. Thank you

Thank you so much. Will be expecting
I honestly don't think I will ever look at them again as I've lost all interest because they have been so bad for so long.
@theturtleproject @nickyhavey
Exactly. It's a crappy tool. But it was important to the blockchain's design as a way to burn steem. It's part of the reason steem didn't turn out as it originally intended which opened up space for bidbots to take over.

I think Steem doesn't need this promotion thing at all. Why not to use "steem bounty" instead for instance? It will promote any post much better.
@suntree any thoughts?

It burns steem in a useful way. It's vital to the economy, just like it has been demonstrated by steemmonsters, which lets you burn DEC into potions and essence orbs.
Yeah, can't disagree with that.
