    I'm not sure why it matters if someone is actually paying for their post to be seen. As unfair as it may seem, the system was built in away which forces you to invest in advertising. As long as someone is paying for their post to be seen, I do not see the issue. I see an issue with the returned reward, which allows for: the more you spend, the more you can earn. So we're esentially back to the same unfair system which decentralizarion cannot solve and never will.

    problem is with putting FOMO on the front page with so many paid votes,

    anyone who doesnt know how steem actually works and takes posts by face value would think that this displayed accurate information and public support,

    the system was not built this way it was changed last year to facilitate widespread vote selling

    decentralization would 100% solve this currently steemit inc make all changes and are single point with most steem holdings

      Im not sure decentralization would in any way solve this. Would you care to elaborate a bit more on how you think a decentralized system would solved this? Hard for a decentralized system to be applied to a social media platform.

        no its not

        minds is doing it by giving site to users

        steem is controlled by a company

        voting is controlled by steemitinc exploited in early days and rules changed

        not decentralized at all
