RE: A Look At Your Top 30 Paid Authors... by whatsup

Isn't all paid content and even not paid content proof of popularity?

And I am not sure what you are reacting to since I don't even know who a few of these people are.

Just because they are popular doesn't mean, you have to know them.
Ask me about today's music, I couldn't list 10 popular contemporary performers :)

Hm, maybe some weird science papers, that are not really popular, but to peer review would be proof of brain?
Couldn't think of another example
:))

I've always viewed Steem as a social media platform vs a content discovery platform, but I get what you are saying.

Personally I think it is unrealistic expectations.

Of course I care more about opinions, views, posts created by people I know.

And I just repeat, what a lot of people already claimed, as a content discovery platform, it sucks, as there is no good mechanism to discover new good content.

And as a social platform it lacks some basic features, that other platforms have. 

Not sure, if both points are frontend, which would be a good thing, as it is solvable quiet "easy" or a backend issue.. HFs are hard:/

Some people like to compare it to Facebook, which it clearly isn't, or to reddit, but it is more a subreddit r/steemit, than a complete platform. 
But let's wait for the communities. Maybe they will solve it. 
Or not and it will be just one big community and a lot of tiny ones.
