I think the solution is given as a choice to the author by way of sending a percentage of their reward to @null that way there is less amount of hive in circulation. But then again any Tom Dick and Harry just had to post and get that give we all so want.
I could be blowing air here.
I'm not even sure if there was a problem that people wanted to provide a solution to begin with. If this was a means to put more value on Hive, the suggestion to reduce author rewards and redistribute that value to the HP staked holders was already good. If the argument was about demotivating authors to produce content, I'll raise an eyebrow to that idea and ask which authors and how many are actually generating content that drives people to be onboard? It only takes 1 shitpost about this nftproject here and hundreds could come and play the game, invest their time and start a community, that post just generated new accounts and money in whereas 1 shitpost about someone's life story earning high but isn't enough to drive people to sign up is viewed as valuable. I'm not really getting it. What is clear to me is putting in more incentives to people that actually hold Hive for the long haul.
