I am sure the folks at D-live would have just loved this feature. Con the team into thinking they are doing something for steem, then con the people, and then cut and run.
So the next group that has an idea real or fake gets to pay to promote to each and every steemit user and then maybe get a vote from them because they think that steemit supports the poster, and they very well may support them, just like they initially supported D-live. Steemit Vetting has worked so well in the past.
Vetting should occur through the top 100 witnesses voting on which content, posts, are featured.
