Those would be great additions to the UI and navigation here.

Splitting payouts was something I was wanting since I first joined for collaboration purposes on content as you mentioned. It would be great also for user hosting contests.

Separating our feeds, resteems and favorites would also help unclutter the massive amounts of content we need to sort through - I'm relatively new and I already get overwhelmed some days. I can't imagine what 1000 followers comment interaction brings.

I also feel category links should not default to trending. That makes it harder for new content to be found when posts by users with strong established following push them aside.

I read in a post a few days ago that private messaging and mobile are I the works. Being blockchain based, it's not 100% private , but a way to allow/invite certain users to message through a different feed/channel would be nice.

Thanks for bringing your thoughts about all this to the forefront again. The more conversations we all have the better Steemit will become as the social media/content platform of the future.
