There are some improvements, but we are seeing the same few people trending on a limited range of topics. Believe it or not crypto is a minority interest online. I see whales and orcas giving themselves a big self vote on each post when they are likely to make more on that post than most make in a week anyway. Let's get more votes to the musicians, artists, photographers and writers who have stuck with Steem for months or years whilst not making much. They belong to communities that could really benefit from this platform and word will spread fast if it can be seen as a worthwhile place to publish. It would help if Steemit would pick more diverse content to feature.

I won't be at Steemfest, but I hope these issues will be discussed there.
