Can we make /promoted into a page that will draw readers because the wisdom of the crowd has it populated with Steem's best content? I don't know, but let's give it a try!

Here's my suggestion for the community to turn /promoted into a decentralized showcase of Steem's best posts...
- Find a post in your feed that you think the whole world should see
- Promote it by sending 0.001 SBD or more to @null with the comment field set to
@author/permlink. (the more you send, the higher the post will rise on the page) - Reply to this post with a link to the post that you promoted.
- When we get done, the community will have created the best darned /promoted page ever!
- The memo field must be exactly as above, starting with the '@' followed immediately by the author/permlink with no white space. Don't start it with "/" and don't use the full URL (starting with https) or the promotion will fail.
- Send SBD not STEEM. STEEM does not work for post promotion.
If you don't want to promote a post, you can support post promotion, instead, by replying here to say which of the existing /promoted posts is your favorite and why.
With this post from @bengy, here's an example of how the memo field should look:
And here's the post on the /promoted page:
