RE: Sample of "nothing at stake" peoples, empowered on 6th day by voting bots!
a better algorithm in which SP weight didn't matter
but that kind of negates the whole purpose of staked voting for rewards?! I dunno...
I'd rather they fixed the almost abandoned "promoted" feature to give weight in "trending". That would be good for the reward pool AND the curation on this platform
The rewards would still be stake weighted, they just would have nothing to do with if something made it to trending or not. But, you could still have it so that other channels did? Maybe give the whales their own tab. Let that be the promoted tab. People would go there to interact with whales anyway in order to bring attention to their posts. Whales could make it to trending as well, but they would have to write quality content in order to get there.
Not sure what to do about curation, but that is another issue that would need to be fixed.
imho that all sounds very convoluted and impractical.
why make a complicated solution to a simple problem, responsible vote-selling (promotion&investment) policies.
I am absolutely pro vote-selling, if that's not "publicly available" it's just going to happen under the counter and will be even less accessible to the "average-joe" on steemit, leading to even more reward skew towards the established players.
Making overly complicated rule-sets (that would have to be implemented on the chain to be effective) is just not practical when the problem at hand is really mainly an ethical one stemming from quality expectations and economic understanding about this platform. It should be solved as such.
