Why not launch a #Steemit SMT to fix this so we can have our cake and eat it too with our current Economic System AND a functional @steemit.
Remember.. Steemit is NOT Steem.. they are and SHOULD remain separate and it might not be good to corrupt the Steem ecosystem for the sake of a single Dapp:

It's all about Steem, obviously, not Steemit.
SMTs won't help much if our base economic is broken.
@gtg,
I think this post by @timcliff helped me understand it more. Thank you guys 😀

@gtg,
I just read another post that actually agreed with what I said earlier about SMT's and also with @exyle:

Do you own a bidbot service @gtg?
If you do it will start earning more after it's change in compensation.
I was hoping that @steemit would really move into thrive mode but this suggestion by witnesses might finally be the last nail in the coffin for #Steem.
@therealwolf and other bidbot operators are slowly killing @steem and @ned @andrarchy and @elipowell @steemitblog are helping.
No. Not only I don't own one, but I'm also not using any.

Don't own one, but I'm also

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
:-D
Thank you @gtg 👍😀👏
Why not just create a separate pool for downvotes without reducing the share for authors?
Downvotes idea is separate from author->curator shift and source for SPS.
As I understand it both are intended to reduce the prominance of bidbot spam but I think only one is necessary.
Why do you think both of them are necessary?
They are meant to solve different issues, please read the proposal.
Bid-bots won't make more money, due to the 25% downvote-pool.
The people like you who own bidbots or others can just start flag wars and automatically downvote anyone who downvotes their posts!!!!
Would you use a bid-bot that starts flagging people for revenge? I wouldn't.
If it would make you more money that you couldn't make elsewhere you would.. or other people would #SelfInterest
Bid-bots downvoting? No. Most of the Steempower is delegated and downvotes are a net-minus, meaning if they'd downvote, they would have to pay delegators out of their own pocket. With "25% free-downvotes" however, the risk is of course there. But again, who would keep their delegation on a bid-bot or even use it, that is downvoting out of revenge.
Wait... I actually see the wisdom in it now @therealwolf.
@steemitblog is putting their faith in people deciding which content gets seen as opposed to letting AI dictate.
So this is part of their efforts to make information and the spread of information decentralized.
By the People and for the People.
There might be bumps along the road but I am starting to think that EIP is going in the right direction (even if it isn't perfect).

I am still open minded @therealwolf but I am not sure if even people will downvote.
Thank you for replying to my comment 👍
