Talking about quality of content. Not so long when I returned here but I believe curation on the platform needs rebalancing and tuning. I see many posts that I wonder what could possibly be the reason they receive huge upvotes. Then, on the other side are posts that totally go under the radar. Posts of people who try to do their best, obviously.

I suppose there is always room for improvement. I do see a lot of active and genuine effort in curation around here too - and also have noted that some of these posts that are clearly not worth the value they are being bumped... seem to be getting that from old accounts from way back when - people who are not even around anymore (in a lot of cases anyway)

Long terms - those few bloggers who know they are getting regularly huge support, tend to decrease their efforts with time, and the others who aren't noticed and supported, also do that, because they aren't seen and supported.

Indeed and it seems like a bit of a lose lose situation when you look at it like that - but you are not wrong!

More or less we've already got what we need here, at least I do, and when, as the-gorilla says, the most of the users here are to profit the most while doing the least, probably what weisser-rabe describes as a lazy system is the best.
Well, it isn't exactly lazy from where I stand, as my parents educated me in a way that I feel obligated to respond to all meaningful comments and replies I get so I spend a lot of time on the platform :)
I'd rather say it is "slow".

I have actually given a lot of thought to this since writing this article and I really do agree with this stance or take on things. I don't want this space to become like so many others out there... because there are more negatives than there are positives.
