Hi William! Sorry for getting back to you so late - I'm not online that often at the moment...

Of course you're right - there is a systemic problem with generating attention. Many, especially veteran Steemians, have complained about this and continue to do so. There are many good approaches that could remedy this. Unfortunately, they are not being implemented. You are not the only one who is frustrated by this.

I'm not in a position to give you hope. I think your initiative to make outstanding posts visible is wonderful. Other users and Communities do similar things.

I find it a bit difficult to rehash very old posts. These mantra-like repetitions fall on deaf ears, at least for me. And when I'm annoyed by one, I don't look at the other. In other words: I don't think you're doing yourself any favours.

I have no idea what criteria you used to choose the location of your publication - why don't you come to the Suggestions Club with such concerns? There are more open eyes and ears there ;-))
