Proof of popularity seems to be working.
Isn't all paid content and even not paid content proof of popularity?
And I am not sure what you are reacting to since I don't even know who a few of these people are.
Just because they are popular doesn't mean, you have to know them.
Ask me about today's music, I couldn't list 10 popular contemporary performers :)
Hm, maybe some weird science papers, that are not really popular, but to peer review would be proof of brain?
Couldn't think of another example
:))
I've always viewed Steem as a social media platform vs a content discovery platform, but I get what you are saying.
Personally I think it is unrealistic expectations.
Of course I care more about opinions, views, posts created by people I know.
And I just repeat, what a lot of people already claimed, as a content discovery platform, it sucks, as there is no good mechanism to discover new good content.
And as a social platform it lacks some basic features, that other platforms have.
Not sure, if both points are frontend, which would be a good thing, as it is solvable quiet "easy" or a backend issue.. HFs are hard:/
Some people like to compare it to Facebook, which it clearly isn't, or to reddit, but it is more a subreddit r/steemit, than a complete platform.
But let's wait for the communities. Maybe they will solve it.
Or not and it will be just one big community and a lot of tiny ones.
It's a young product. I've never thought we will compete with facebook, it mostly makes me laugh when I hear people say that.
I think Steem will remain a niche. to be honest there is not a shortage of people who will create content and there is not a shortage of content, the value most sites are the connections we make.
I love steem for teaching me about crypto. I know my views don't reflect everyone, but I have no interest in personally reading someone's recipe on Steem or looking at photos. I am glad those things are here, but alone they do even less than the crypto and steem discussions that happen here.
What seperates us from other blockchains is our community and communication platform, what seperates us from other social media projects is the crypto.
Like you already mentioned communities yourself - they will improve content discovery on the next Hard Fork, just need to be patient for a while :)
