RE: Pay to Play – The Future of Steemit
Another option is to create a separate down voting pool and allow users access to two types of down voting. One with damage to rep and one without. That way there aren't as many long term consequences to a user where there are rewards disagreements.
WORST IDEA EVER BTW.
Steem already isn't decentralized enough and you want to double down and give all the whales twice as much power? There will be outrage and mass exodus if this "fix" happens. Flag wars x1000 isn't the answer.
The real answer is wait for SMTs to come out and hope against hope that they deliver. That way someone will make a superior SMT that's actually better than Steem/Steemit and Steem/Steemit will have to incorporate attributes of the new coin to stay relevant.
You want content discovery and price discovery? you need to make it so that a whale doesn't have to give up 25% curation rewards to break up a circle jerk or a bid botted post that's on pure trash.
There are ways to discover content that don't revolve around how much a post is being rewarded. I guess no matter how much I talk about these things I'm the one who's going to end up doing the work.
You didn't address the issue at all. Doubling the power of whales is a good idea? No. At least as it stands now a whale has to pay a little money to smack someone off the trending page. You're basically saying, "Hey let's let them do that for free." Amazing plan.
