Its all good trying and rethinking things.
Do you think this will have an effect at all? Sometimes I feel we are just in the general crypto boat.
We had the EIP that is in favor of stakeholders in october and not even a year have passed since then.
What could improve things maybe is acctualy having a great app with super easy sign in and a great web page. Although for sure not a guaranaty for anything.
Also without zero incentive to vote, I really dont see it why would anyone do it.
It might be just as good to just remove the infation for author/curators and redisign the staking rewards. But to do this, SMTs are probably needed.
EIP was a different direction; it improved the symptoms but for Hive to be truly healthy & thriving, more drastic changes are needed. Even if individual reward-pools aren't the solution, I want to promote at least the idea that a global rewards-pool is not the way to go.
Also: no "great app with super easy sign-in and a great web page" that wants to attract millions of users wants to deal with monetary downvotes & the toxicity these bring. On the other hand, tipping is something that can be easily implemented and which is "neutral".
I like the idea of individual pools ... the next thing would be how to distribute it:
