Do you mean a systen for people that bought Steem at higher prices to be compensated the difference of current valuation or something else?
Think you are hinting that many vote buyers and sellers are merely trying to recoup their losses and maybe afford them compassion?
At the same time, many more altruistic users are taking a greater L relative to what they put in while their influence generally wanes compared to their vote buying counterparts.
Believe this will continue to be the case unless we start approaching these problems in new ways.
No, I don't want all vote buyers / sellers to be screwed over. I want us to reach a point of reconciliation and an accord on how we may realize proof-of-brain and a more sound system of promotion.
What I was talking about was that Sorin's post costed him about 17$ to promote and you're alluding at removing all of the 177$ he's put at risk to promote his post.
Proof of brain is no good.
What you call proof of brain is actually Proof of "not completely retarded wasting their time."

I see so the motivation is fear. Fear that one's work will be rejected and time wasted.
That is why we must pay the larger stakeholders a toll to contribute meaning to our network. Does that not seem just a little broken to you?
Sorry, @transisto, if the ideals do not resonate with you but maybe one day it will be made apparent.

Motivation is fear? You came up with the idea of removing the stakes acquired via buying votes. That's the only fearful part I can think of.
I think you're responding to the wrong person, I never wrote anything related to fear or size of account getting paid some toll.

That's what I was referring to.
Don't worry. I am not a socialistic type of person that would advocate "redistributing wealth" or anything.
I am merely expressing a desire to build a system where the influence obtained via those means has no or a minimized effect on curation.
Unfortunately, not sure there is a way to prevent users from simply shuffling around that stake. Maybe just starting over with an SMT airdrop based on an analysis of a users behavioral patterns would be a more sound strategy.
That's just how I perceive the entire bid bots for promotion model. Them being pushed as vehicles for passive income makes things even worse.
I wonder by how much my rewards are trumped by a similar user that simply delegates to a bot. Probably more of an incentive to choose one with unscrupulous standards.
Incentive for my wallet. Not for Steem or it's outward perceptions. There's the rub.

Vote buying is called promotion. So why not burn the Steem and set aside a promoted part of the interface for this paid promoted posts? I'm not against pro-social promotion of posts but when it's damaging the economy then it comes at a cost.
If all payouts have to essentially be bought then the content no longer makes a difference. Maybe we should all post the letter Z and just buy bots to pay ourselves?

A promotion tab based on burned Steem is the way to go, Agreed.
