Maybe the smartest is to build a market arround Steem / Delegation / RC and other things we can do with Steem.
Then we have to remove the Inflation of Steem and use Smts. Idk this would work, but fix the Voting would never work perfect.
For Example: If all User vote perfect, they like something more then others. So they build there own bubble and dont explore new content.
IMO we should add Like/ Dislike and rename upvote to Support/ Donation. Maybe this works better.
For me, i think it is more usefull give devs the $, then a Author. Becuase Steem need to be more User friendly and easy to use.
