There needs to be incentives to provide good posts, and that means encouraging people to actually read them, instead bot upvoting. If no one reads, but everyone bot upvotes, the quality is going to vanish.

And that's the challenge. I've seen posts with 50 votes and only a dozen views. Who's actually checking these posts for quality? It feels like half of the top earning/followed posters could just post "Hello World" and still earn more than most on this platform.
Exactly the problem. There are many 'communities' where people simply input each other into their bot-voting system, and don't bother to read each others' posts. A worthless community that causes problems for others because they put worthless posts at the top of 'trending'. There are a few things like 'curie' , 'whalepower ' , 'history-trail', and 'minnowresteemer' where someone actually reads the posts, and then votes them, or shares them if they are any good. I am actually going to go back to using wordpress for more serious things, even though I don't earn anything there, because it isn't about posting junk over there.
Couldn't agree more.
