RE: Steemit – a prescribed diet or a broad menu for all tastes?
Yes, that's the way it's going. It'd be interesting if a whale (or small team of whales) decides to specialize in one category niche and act as "patron" to encourage good content therein.
It's only a matter of time before Steemit has content that mainstream folks will want to read. In a very real sense, a low upvote/read ratio can be a good thing - if the raw read count is high. That means outside people are flooding in to read Steemit content.
At the moment, their focus is to intravote and retain the power of controlling 90% of the votes - any broadening of any kind makes this harder to manage.
The raw read count is great - another tool might be a report saying who voted for your posts, auto or otherwise.
Recommending Steemit right now has to be nestled in a lot of explanations!
