Yes and no, it will continue to become more and more difficult to stand out on your own merit, you'll have to get noticed among the fray. I don't think spam will ever really go away, but we may be able to curate our feeds a bit better with the Follow function, and delve into the Newly Created section every now and then. Although, if spammers and copypasters realize they can't really make money this way (because nobody will upvote them) then the problem won't be as bad. =
