I have an idea as to how to fix that in the next hard fork. It's not too complicated and does not require too much coding or testing.

The issue with that proposal is if I discover a 'new' person and I want to reward a few posts at once while looking at their portfolio I would essentially get 'taxed' to do that. One would also have to keep track of everyone they voted for and when they could vote again and not be hit. This is complex and shifts the balance of power back to autovoting and away from manual curation , as you can schedule posts votes after a certain amount of time has lapsed.
I think we need to separate the "content discovery" issues which need to be dealt with by a front end algorithm that does not rank simplistically by HIVE reward, from the discussion about the perception of an unfair blockcahin reward pool distribution in a stake based system. Content discovery is abysmal. We need a proper way to search the platform, we need an open tag system like Instagram hashtags where we can see posts grouped into areas rather than the current 5-10 meaningless tags which are taken up with tribes and trending tags. We need algorithms that suggest trending users and posts based on spikes in community interaction .
HIVE is by definition a stake based system, should we really be discriminating on what people can vote on with their stake? Any top level token limitations will also have an effect on the development of other dapps etc who might use the reward pool. The real question is what are we trying to be here? Are we just going to specialize as a top level blogging site where the primary token is perfected to produce the best rank of posts using 'reward pool payout" as the ultimate form of post rank ? Or are we trying to be an open stake based Level 1 DPOS token without restrictions on the use of stake where people can build a variety of Web 3 DApps that can use their own level 2 token to rank posts (or anything else they might want to do like reward people for exercising, or providing the answer to question, or winning a level in a game, etc)?
