OK. I was sceptical, even cynical about this whole #NewSteem thing but I think you've just convinced me. I think you're right about decline payouts being a great way for advertisers to get eyeballs on trending and yet also help support the platform without turning us all into whores and shitposters.

Not so convinced about the idea of setting beneficiaries to null as it's a bit grey and not so overt. I don't think it should be up to curators to check beneficiaries when deciding whether to flag. It should be black and white. Organic = Payout Reward. Advertisement = Payout Declined.
