I mean to be honest, I feel like it's working overall so much better than 2-3 years ago. It's not perfect by any means, but subjectively speaking I feel it's not bad. Many new users get some smaller to decent sized votes and often those payouts actually end up making a difference to them as they might come from countries where a couple of cents a day is a big deal. Curators are mainly here because people don't want to vote themselves and/or want to make passive income on their stake and I reckon it's really not easy to read through all the stuff and pick "quality" content. so kudos to you! I have often felt that having the option of displaying posts by their number of votes instead of their payout rewards would really make it easier to spot actually engaging posts. Peakd has "most viewed posts", but getting a "most votes" filter would be better imo @peakd
