thank you for your welcome. i don't have any questions, i have to say i'm kind of overwhelmed by the possibilities this platform brings!

Yep, all we need to do is clean up the reward system to make it less top heavy, get malicious downvoting and all the fake and paid upvoting cleaned up, eliminate spammers/scammers and multiple accounts, and ...to the moon!!

Haha, wow that sounds like a lot of work. Is there really that much clutter going on here?

How do I participate in making this a better place?

Well, you could do this: https://steemwhales.com/clean-trending/

But, the best you can do really is just mention the things I did in conversations you have with others. Supposedly, the "witnesses" are going to do something soon in the next "hard fork" to clean up some of it, but all we minnows have to keep the pressure on them!
