I would not call them 'flaws'. POB was launched as a bold experiment and has been very successful. VYB is a new kind of experiment, that has the benefit of some of the lessons learned via the POB experiment. The two are complementary, like yin and yang.
The idea of two tokens working together (or in tandem) is something I've been pondering for many, many months.
You can check out this post I wrote last March that talks about "Two Tokens to Rule Them All".
Although POB and VYB are considerably different from the "Two Tokens" I envisioned 9 months ago, the idea is similar -- two tokens that work together, complement each other, but are distinctly different in their focus and application.
As long as you include the #vyb or #verifyyourbrain tag in your post you can post on any front end, your post will show on all the Hive based front ends, and you will be earning VYB tokens on your posts along with Hive and POB if you also use a #pob or #proofofbrain tag - I'm a whale on VYB so will be able to give you bigger upvotes in VYB tokens (this is edited because I had it all wrong before)
This was discussed in some detail in the initial VYB white paper.
The major difference is that VYB rewards are not affected by downvotes.
Also, I like to think of VYB as a 'companion' token to POB, but with an explicitly long-term focus (i.e. as a retirement / rainy-day token).
Hmm, sounds interesting. So some flaws were observed in POB then VYB was created to correct that? That's how I kind of see it.

All right, I got that now.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
