Ton of great discussion going on around this subject, hence the upvote. The idea of getting rid of curation rewards and enabling inflation only for those who don't upvote is intriguing. What is your current view on this snowflake?
Wouldn't this enable minnows to have bigger voting power and have that "I'm helping someone on the internet"- feel good moment? This could be considered as a charity work. We can all agree the current system does not work. Too much shady things going on with curie and voting guilds. The system is too easy to milk by those willing and the distribution of tokens is so bad that people see it as disheartening.
Let me know your thoughts and I hope you keep on this issue.
I've explored many different possibilities to solve influence issue and it looks like incentivizing whales to not upvote is the only way to go.
