Alot of people are knocking Steem. The metrics might be messed up, but we got some of the best users on the planet. Even if the rewards aren't fair, the Steem users make this an amazing platform. We need to stop always complaining about Bots, and "Cheaters Paradise", and focus on bringing new money into the system. Some bad things won't change, so instead of giving up, we can boost the positive opportunities.
What I love about corperate focus groups. They money would go to the grassroots. The minnows would be chasing the $2 or $10 upvotes, and the whales would focus on their own posts.
Corperatate focus groups, would support the minnows first, and the grassroots. It would reduce the income inequality, and boost the price of Steem. Steem would shift towards an economy based upon disposable income.
