Ideas to Improve the Steemit Platform - December 13th Edition

I had previously started a series of posts with the goal of developing a dialogue within the Steemit community of ways to improve the platform, especially as it relates to new/minnow users. These ideas will be important before we transition into the next phase of Steemit, mass adoption.

It has been a crazy couple of months for me so I have not been posting as much, but previously, I discussed the idea of having a way categorize people you follow into different lists. Please check out that post here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@sepracore/ideas-to-improve-the-steemit-platform-october-31st-edition

In this edition, I would like to discuss the idea of suggested posts. For instance, if you watch movies on Netflix, they will suggest other movies or TV shows based on the type of material you enjoy watching. I would love if steemit would do the same thing. Somehow, it would determine the type of material you enjoy reading and suggest similar posts or more importantly, similar authors. I believe this will help people branch out of their small communities and find new authors to read.

I am not exactly sure how this would be done. I would imagine it would be based on your upvote history and other people’s upvote history. It would also have to be smart enough to determine the topic of the posts, which I guess could be accomplished using the tags. I believe a rough prototype of this could be accomplished pretty easily.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for reading. As always, all upvote and resteems are greatly appreciated.
