Why Steemit will become the new TV (and this is bad) and how to avoid it
If I write an article to get more views and upvotes as possible I will target the average, that is what is more common in people: you will see a lot of sensationalist titles like: "Definitive guide to get rich soon", "How to I manage to get a Ferrari for a taco", "Why Steemit will become the new TV" etc. And obviously you will never bet on a post that talks about cold fusion if there is a near post talking about boobs, maybe I exaggerate but you get the point.
Basically this will bring us to the tv model, lowering the level and making impossible to find really good stuff.
Solution:
Make a subjective steem power, I don't want to have filter (and ranking) on posts based on how rich (in SP) are the curators - probably they get there upvoting boobs or talking like marketers and politicians - I want to value voters according to my OWN vision.
I want that votes of a people I trust have a big weight even if that person have no SP at all, and I value zero the vote of a big idiot even if he is a good speculator and have lots of SP.
Tell me in a comment if you agree (so I get the monney!!)

REALLY!!! 100 YEARS OF LUCKINESS IF YOU GIVE ME THE UPVOTE1111!!!!
I 'think' I understand what you're getting at. Do you mean have the ability to follow Curators who's judgment you respect? E.g.
a list that shows posts that have been upvoted by a group of curators that I select?
If so, I think this would be a great idea.
For now you can use steemd.com to track how certain individuals are upvoting. (e.g. you can see all my activity at https://steemd.com/@nanzo-scoop). However it would be great to be able to select a number of users and a live stream of the posts they are upvoting.
Yes in part, I explain the full net idea here https://medium.com/@rodomonte/decentralized-reputation-answer-to-ob-892d159cdb74 not so different from normal wot.
tldr: as you say but add transitivity (according to a personal algo constants), like i trust you 10 you trust b 10, so i trust b 7.8 according to my algo (this way you extend your data on a long part of total network and have near full coverage)

I have absolutely no idea how this would actually work, but I agree that it might make sense to have vote weights be subjective somehow. Steemit seems to have a "stories I will like" section already; not sure how it generates that.
I would also love it if instead of being paid with objective money, people on here got paid with subjective money. Do you post great articles on knitting that knitters love (and everyone else ignores)? Then you get currency that knitters value (for some reason).
This is actually interesting, but just stretch it to the individual level - not to the labeled group level - this way you get a graph where everybody can exchange with others using subjective currency even using multiple people hop as exchanges! Anyway for now we need to build the graph and then will come the currency, steem is a good step forward anyway, even if really improvable!
I AGREE 100% - ITS WHY I AM THE CEO OF MY OWN SOCIAL SITE AND IT WILL ONLY FEATURE IMPORTANT POSTS NOT NONSENSE!
Upvoted you!
