If for you everything is only about the reward but you also do not go with the incentives to stake up so you can decide more over the reward pool as you see fit.. then maybe you should rather try socialism again?
The main challenge I see is to find a way to both reward good content (meaning content other people on the network deem useful, helpful or valuable) while also making it impossible for one individual or group to dominate the network through sheer monetary influence.
I have a solution:
Maybe let people themselves reward with their stake in a decentralised fashion? Or do you want to decide what should be voted and which content people should deem good?
I also have a solution for the anti abuse.. you won't like to hear it.
Maybe just try the design and organise, throw the dumb cartel out?
You act as if you are the first noticing any problems. We have them since years. But most just wait till others notice to then follow the solutions or ragequit.
Lol good luck with that strategy.
I want @steemflagrewards and @freezepeach back
Instead of helping achieve what you and most other users here want since years, you all guys did not give a shit. let it leave on others shoulders. So because nearly noone took part in the design, we needed hivewatchers and now after everyone hates hivewatchers still noone wants to try out the original design.
Dumb humans, without hivewatchers or now even after abolishing downvotes all together, this place here would be burning and done because of all the vote farming bots, plagiarists, Circlejerks, and so on and on and on.
Now we have a functional place which is not good enough for you because of muhh rewards. Sad.
Maybe you guys are just lazy and want some weird blurt quick "fixes"
Good luck
