I do have concerns about how content will be filtered as the network grows. If tips awarded is the only way to discern good posts from the noise, we will eventually drown in people spamming posts hoping to find one that hits a bullseye. This created a flood of bad content with no way to weigh/prioritize it.
If I have to think long term, without the tools to correctly filter in content (such as a like button), aside from tip amount, it will be just a sea of random noise with only paid content standing out. Your feed will essentially be hijacked by sponsored or corporate interests who will pay a premium in the competition for people's eyeballs.
