ELI5 request: What is the problem with the reward pool?

in #steemit6 years ago

I've been seeing a lot of posts on how to "fix" the reward pool. A lot of these posts tell you to flag certain people, and the comments on these posts tend to go into some pretty intense arguments....

So what exactly is the problem?
And what is berniesanders' connection to all of this? He seems to be a pretty contrversial figure in this story.

Please keep answers as objective and civil as possible!

i read youre post you made over a year ago about this. this has now been brought to everyones attention with the @ned and @dan drama on steemit. i agree also that something needs to be done. idk. i'm starting to hope Dan Larimer creates EOS as planned and we get front row seats to the new creations on EOS's platform. steemit is great but i think dan can do better and i know he has this issue in mind as he's working on the new project. have a great day @rada ....peace...
