Totally agree with you @deanoza! All the issues you raised have been bugging me as well, especially getting the feed to deliver content of interest to me, as my google feed does, something that still amazes me (not being an IT specialist). Your suggestion in point 3 makes sense, one should first read and then upvote! Very frustrating when someone has only upvoted a post that one has researched and taken time with, and clearly they have not read it! As a newbie, I feel kind of puzzled at times when I see the huge amounts some posts earn, posts that in actual fact have zero quality content, obviously upvoted by steemers only interested in rewards! Excellent points raised, but how to solve it?
