Content creators only have ONE chance to make money with their content
The picture above shows a graph of a trend. Normally the duration of a trend is very dynamic, but on the SteemIt platform almost 100% of trends last 24 hours at most. People lose interest after 24 hours when the first payment has been made, because they just want to ride the trend and don't care much about the content. Mathematically you have a chance to get noticed by a "whale" at any time, but on SteemIt people aren't really visiting blogs of specific users, they're way more focussed on upvoting fresh new content as fast as possible. This is a terrible problem with the current implementation. I have personal experience with this and i'm fairly certain everyone has the same experience.

Definitely an issue to consider and I think it'd be really useful if that "follow" button actually did something like give me a feed of posts from the people I follow... another thing would be a feed of tags that we can subscribe to, similar to Reddit... otherwise browsing through the "new" section is pretty agonizing and tedious considering the large amount of spam, copied content, and low quality posts.
Upvoted, why not
