The main prob in all exist'g curat'n systs is the same: money is power. The primary factor that determines whether content is good or bad is the size of the bag of the person making the decision. Since 2016 w/ Steemit, all systs created have been based on capital to give decision-making power. I don't think the future lies there in my opinion, curat'n should incl. more factors to obtain a qual. score. Bots & manip. make the task complex, but there are av. to explore. For ex. Quora had a remunerat'n syst for questioners that was eventually abandoned but initially enjoyed success. One of the factors considered was the # of external & internal views. This is really a pt that more curat'n systs should take into acct. And when you think about it, it's so logical. Qual. content naturally attracts visitors, & search engines have 20+ yrs of engineering that we can leverage. The q is broad I'm providing one element of an answer here, but if this reflection interests you, let me know & I'll delve deeper.

Quora also has flaws & has been manipulated to display buzz posts to users one point, the "narcissistic pervert" theme was attracting all the attention on the platform😅 However, in terms of value redistribution, they distinguished themselves w/ their system of rewards for referencing & external views. It all depends on the curator & what defines them. If a curator has influence & determines what is good or not solely based on the size of their wallet, I don't think that's the future. On the other hand, if the curator themselves gets a score determined by several factors, such as the number of selected posts validated by a large audience & the total number of views obtained through natural referencing, then we will have made a big step forward. But here, I am just offering a broad reflection on the issue. In any case, systems like Openrank have a real place of choice, & I am sure they will be part of the future of curation we just need to find what to combine it to achieve the almost perfect system.
