There are so many features that the default Steemit doesn't have it's baffling. Heck, we don't even have a filter for turning Resteemed items on and off. I've only seen that on @steempeak. I'm sure if you are savvy enough, you could do those things for your own, but the average user experience is subpar at best.

I guess our best bet is wait for someone to add those features and not STINC.
