I love the idea of implementing what google has done. It's still hard to wrap my mind around the entire concept, but I understand that basically the most helpful content moves to the top, which is why when you search for content on google the most popular and helpful content rises to the top and less helpful content gets put farther down. 

Google sells ad space though so there is a major difference, since a company can buy a top spot with money that may or may not be any good. I actually have an idea to ad advertisers to steemit without being intrusive. Something new users could really benefit from.

I think the newer system you have just wrote about will allow scalability. I still wonder how new user content will be found when steemit content comes in as fast as a redditt or twitter. The "New Feed" would almost need to be real time, but that is a problem that can be addressed as needed.

The problem with flagging right now I talked with @smooth and a few other heavily vested users and would love for you to take a look at the possibility of changing part of the way flags/downvotes are current;y done to make sure those who downvote are made to give a reason as to why to prevent "flag spam" or downvoting for just disagreement or jealousy.

While most people beg whales for votes, I told @smooth I care more about his opinion right now than his upvote, becasue I know that these two proposals may add a lot of value. 

Excited to see all the changes that roll out @dantheman. Keep up the good work. It does not go unappreciated.
