Yes, but if there were other metrics to measure what deserves rewards apart from Quality and engagement in the post, then I think the reward pool distribution measures - those that we support or we don't - would perhaps change and adapt to the new common agreement.
I absolutely agree with this. However, even if such metrics existed, under the current protocols, one whale account can still wreak havoc, with impunity. The “with impunity” part is the problem. There are no robust defenses against such abuse.
That's why you use the Leo frontend with no downvotes. Your Hive rewards might take a hit, but you still earn Leo, which you can spend just as well.
True for now, but khals posts suggest downvotes are coming.
That'll be unfortunate, because that would be the only reason the masses would come back. It's the downvotes that caused so many to leave and even more to never come.
I agree.
