I do manual curation on a very similar basis as you described. I see just token distribution as essential to ecosystem health and long term success. But even now, in "larvae state" Hive is too big to catch these newcomers and try to split your votes perfectly in accordance to the value of content/engagement.
It seems like a perfect job for AI on Hive.
Another feed with AI-assesed underrewarded content on Hive? Some sort of colorful icon next to posts suggesting how valuable is it in terms of measurable factors? List of underrwarded users based on provided content value?
