It's early days, and right after a hard fork it's hard to expect the most popular posts to be talking about anything other than Steem.
I get what you meant, though, the front page of reddit isn't just talking about reddit and my facebook feed isn't just zuckerberg's face.
Still, bid bots are no longer entirely unchallenged and it doesn't feel like I'm just throwing money in the bin every time I vote for someone else or not selling my vote. It'll take time but hopefully things will get better from here.
