RE: Steemit Roadmap 2018: Community Input Requested

I agree that curation needs to be looked at. It would be nice to make changes that encourage whales to upvote/curate from varying authors so more authors get a nice payout occasionally.

Sort:  

Definitely. Not just whales though. Right now someone can just set a bot to upvote popular user's posts, and they'll get almost guaranteed curation rewards.
Perhaps an algorythm based on a user's average post payout rewarding more curation rewards for upvotes on lesser known users. This way it encourages everyone to go out there and find the diamonds in the rough.

Everytime a 'whale' votes EVERYBODY ELSE'S vote loses value.

If one person votes, their vote gets the entire reward pool.
If one minnow, and one whale votes, the minnow gets next to nothing and the whale takes the rest.
Whale voting is making it impossible for the newbs to get votes and exposure.
