There's little value or appeal in stagnation, ideally there should be more drives for content other than the standard 2-3 featuring authors on botlists and a slew of crypto-circlejerk. Most of the people we want to attracts don't give two shits about that. Steemit needs a stream of new users to create more diversity and liquidity.

I'm not sure how to improve the system, but it sure makes curation boring at times in the current state.
