Perhaps, Steemit (for now) misses some of facebook-like qualities, such as sorting which posts appear in my feed according to my past preferences of readings and interactions. This method has proven to be effective in increasing rates of engagement inside a post and all over the network (in addition to the rather archaic "topic filter" in the right side).

Example: Simply by the fact that I'm reading this post, which relates to the future of Steemit, some AI based algorithm could understand that I'm interested in posts that discusses Steemit's functionalities and recommend this kind of article to me in a near future.

Coercitive measures could also be the case, at least until a "Steemit Way of Acting" is established.

For instance, people could post only one article per day (little difficult to elaborate a really quality post in less than a day) and/or a person could only post something after engaging with 3 other posts.

Each and everyone of these possible changes have its upside and downside, but I belive that is only through this kind of article that we will be able to change Steemit for the better.

Best regards, Lucas.
