RE: Steemit Winter Update: 2017 reflection, our Vision Statement and Mission, and a look forward
How about steemit.inc puts their considerable SP into the hands of the community for the purposes of moderating abuse and gradually decentralising their stake?
YES! Yes yes yes. Bloody Facebook is going it and I wish to God I got @ned to read my article on the subject last week.

From what I understand, they already delegated a large portion of SP to the SteemCleaners organization.
That's really good, but I mean a heck of a lot more.
I'm with you on decentralizing their stake, but I'm gonna pull a @timcliff on you and ask, cool story bro, how do?
I like the concept, but I don't know how we would decentralize that distribution and not create more clique empowered voting rings around newly empowered wealthy delegation recipients.
Remember when Ned gave a bunch of random people half a mill each last summer for inexplicable reasons? Like sweetssj and the ramen recipe / bikini photoshoot team for "quality curation"?
Meh.
My suggestion would be to give voting power to the rank. Not necceraly 25, but 50+ should have some voting power not 0.01.
I think there's two main contradictions here. One is the method of finding content. The other is assessing it's quality. Both of these contribute towards the current rewards pool abuse / vote-ringing low-quality content.
I think active competition can solve both of these problems.
I hope communities can promote that competition.
As it stands, content is flooded. There should be an overhaul to finding content by tags.
What other ways though? I'm not a developer. Idk. 3-dimensional content feeds with a GUI that lets you explore posts like through minecraft? lol. I've no idea.
As for quality (avoiding $1000 ramen recipes), there needs to be some kind of decentralized 'state apparatus' at play, a la content editors or something. If a post is made in a community, members of that community should be able to assess its quality.
I like Sola.ai approach, how they solved the problem of visibility. Great content is much more likely to be noticed there if you choose the right chanel. They don't support articles over 250 characters tho.
