I am interested in how this is gonna play out. The current setup of Steemit is aimed at responsible users posting good stuff and helping each other out. With a growth to, let's say, 1,250,000 users, will quality still be visible?

As an example: while I find the FED photo bomber story funny, it must have been posted 40 individual times already. No stopping this and not simple to curate (I do not like to flag posts negatively). Imagine this with 5x users. Steemit in its current form will become impossible to curate sensibly.

I welcome user growth but can imagine that content is displayed differently; perhaps even passing a prefilter to make it to a front page.
