I believe that Tags should not take precedence in any case, much like Reddit. The idea is, like in Reddit, you just go to the subreddit and find the latest upvoted posts. You won't have to rely on search to find content that is relevant to the subreddit.

I guess it's hard to implement that without changing the whole interface on Steemit. I'm trying this substeemit idea as "updated posts" like what @ocd and @curie are doing, but so far it doesn't seem to be working.

Or maybe there needs to be more people being aware that there are more accounts other than @ocd trying to find valuable content and put it together thematically in one place. I'm still trying to find my way around here. It's hard to get feedback, not as easy as a reddit question that you post on a thread. Maybe chatrooms can be a solution to discuss that substeemit idea, we'll see.
