It is a 'satire series', which I have detailed in the {intro post](https://steemit.com/introducing/@grow-pro/introducing-shitpost-your-way-to-success-all-new-steemit-exclusive-mini-series).

I agree that there are various initiatives for 'quality', however, most (if not all of these) require funds. That, to me at least, still suggests that quality is based solely on profitability. I am part of more than one initiative, in fact, all of which required 'monetary installation' in order to receive any benefit. Ironically, the benefits are also based solely upon your weighted investment amount. How ironic!

I am not at all discounting the integrity of these initiatives, but I do feel that it is not solving the issue holistically. With the HIVEMIND update on the horizon and community features + SMT and the potential that brings - it is surely going to change. Whether it's a solution or not will remain to be seen.

I am also aware of the discussion surrounding how rewards are based on vote weight/SP could possibly change to a more 'fair' metric. If the system relies only on those with STEEM POWER to essentially determine the value of posts - we are SOL. Those with the most SP tend to seek profit and their vote will cost you. Change is absolutely on the horizon and I am excited to see it unfold.

Thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts @eco-alex. The intro to this series will explain my 'method to my madness' and the intent is to open the discussion. So far, so good! Thanks again.
