I would be fine with Steemit continuing to suck, but all interfaces suck and all interfaces use the same trending, hot feeds that the blockchain provides via their API. You would imagine that one of these applications could fix the issue, but why bother when you have huge delegations to abuse at your disposal. The applications are cool, but the way they present information still is beyond primitive. Honestly, D-Tube is the only application I actually see accomplishing real development and even remotely addressing this issue.

The question is whether the third party developers with pick up the slack and whether they will be rewarded with cold hard Steem rather than a delegation. It's ridiculous that Steemit has millions of dollars of stake at their disposal and can not do anything but HODL it and hope the community saves them from their apathetic incompetence.
