They need to figure out how to properly tweak all the algorithms so they work together as a self regulating system. Right now 99% of the content makes either way too little or way too much. Regulating quality isn't incentivized properly.
I have written many articles about it on my channel if you're curious.
If you want to know what i think bad content is: badly written articles with spelling/grammar mistakes, bad layout, usually posts under a couple 100 words, illegal/offensive content and so on...
While I'm not fond of spelling/grammar mistakes, it seems that a decent portion of SteemIt users are English as a Second Language writers. Over time and through interacting with the community, their posts will likely improve. Not to mention, some users aren't writers (or technically knowledgeable) and have never blogged before this. In these cases, giving advice and/or showing them how to use a feature would be more beneficial to the platform. Plus, if SteemIt really is a social media service, then that automatically implies a lack of professionalized writing style and/or content layout. Yes, professionals use social media, but mainstream users are not professionals. They're everyday people who want a chance to have their voices heard.
Don't get me wrong. I've seen some shit content get great upvotes and, likewise, great content get shit upvotes. One of the things that might help make the up/down voting easier would be to have a button for both, rather than a button for up and a practically hidden, obscure minus for down.
Linear rewards AKA more fair distribution of voting power. But i'm pessimistic about it, it doesn't look nearly drastic enough to me.
It sounds good. But how do they make it 'fair' ?
Well they don't so far, that's the problem ;)

Gave you a follow to read them all. I want to learn more about this. Because I feel left out. This is so far my biggest post. Mind blown.
The reason you made decent money is probably because you did it in a video, people like to see details of your life.
Anyway some of my main ideas are:
Bad as in flag for spam?

I am agree with that. What is a bad layout? Making sure mine is on point.
