RE: Are Dapps Polluting the Steem Feed?
I have been here for almost 2 years and have never once used my feed for anything lol. I use steemnow to find new posts, search tags I like, and enter contests. I don't have too much time to browse. I found your post on steemnow today.
When I first got here, I quickly followed about 500 steemers not knowing this would make for a crazy feed. So I just never have used it. I follow over 6000 now, so it would be impossible.
Some of the dapps let you filter your feed if you want to try them. I think esteem and steempeak both do that. I stopped using steemit for much of anything and only work on the dapps that pay for posts. I think they are in a bit of chaos, so I am avoiding steemit now for the most part.
Since you are in socal, I suggest joining @socalsteemit. There are a lot of great steemers there, meetups, contests, and friends. I am in Malaysia now, but I use to live there, so they let me in :)
Oh wow I had never heard of Steem now, it looks like a great way to track your metrics, though I don't see where to find content though. No worry, I'll definitely check it out in greater depth.
I know what you mean about a crazy feed, it's like im following 1 persons 3 separate social media accounts all on the 1 feed, lol very cluttered, but still workable.
Oh my I had no idea there was a socal group! I'll absolutely join that's awesome!
Thanks again, I think I'll probably stick to dapps to filter content. I hope stremit the site doesn't become an afterthought though. 👍

Here is a screenshot of how I filter at steemnow. I play with it a bit to get a good number of new posts to look at. I could do this all day - I click 3-5 posts and by the time I look at them, the feed is new again. You have to refresh though.
Be sure to go in the discord group for socalsteemit. @derekrichardson runs it and he is a great guy. I hope I see you in the contests and spotlight posts. I am sure you have an interesting take on the place since you are not from there :)
