If you're looking for leaderboards, I encourage you to check out steemwhales.com where you can rank all accounts by reputation, total account value, steem power holdings, etc. It's a great tool that was built by @heimindanger.

Nice article! People around here seem to comprehensively ignore the fact that as Steem increases its reach, it will start attracting advertising and political money, because money here explicitly lets you buy influence. Censorship is as simple as having deep pockets.
