Even good content never goes viral on Steemit. That's where we are losing this battle. There's a problem when centralised Facebook manages to create a platform that promotes content creators better than a decentralised steemit! If we don't address this, we are doomed. Let's face it
We are a tiny echo chamber... We would need mass adoption to talk about viral

Well we could still get good stories published here. But let's say we get someone to break a story here...the chances of it getting noticed is very marginal. That's the issue. Even if you publish an earth shattering story, it may go unnoticed. I think this needs a relook...stories and posts go unnoticed, unless you are a whale. That's not the case with Facebook. Although I hate Facebook, it cleverly manages to get the word out. let's say you post smelting on animal cruelty, the news spreads straight away. just within your circle ...try that here and your own mates won't notice it. It's just a problem we need to address....This whole idea of whales getting more weightage is so medieval
curation is broken. in my opinion we should be awarding it though resteems. that way users have financial incentive to repost good content and it will get more views.
Yes something needs to change. This was a great start! But where to from here?
