Yep. I mean, I saw Hive account@theycallmedan call for people to tell him about good creators. But good is so subjective that none of us may fit into the preferences of a few whales. Linear worked because you found that account you clicked with, you bought your stake, and you started rewarding them even if no one else did. You could build a following that way. Now, if you don't HAVE a following, how would you build a following? No one should vote on a post that won't get to 20 (0r 40) steem, and no user that doesn't already regularly get 20-40 steem is going suddenly start regularly getting 20-40 steem per post. We can make all the promises we want about new steem behavior, but no whale has enough time to find all the undiscovered talent.
