There was i. thinking the site was finally getting easier to use with todays improvements, and know i find its going to be more complex to use again.
personally i think steemit needs far more votes distributing SP to more users instead of less votes giving more SP to less users.
Also what about low and mid SP holders? when i vote, the poster gets very little (if anything). so i am going to be disuaded from voting much cos i will only give reward to 5 users?
Surely steemit needs to find a way to reward more users with SP so they can vote and curate more .we need more SP distributed to minnows and new users so there are more curators with SP power to curate and feed new users SP so the cycle continues.
Surely this new idea will do the opposite. There are already more people posting than curating, because they are trying to get SP. If you are a whale you do not have to post to get a decent reward, you can get that from curating.
Minnows have to post and post and post to get reward. theres already too many posts with too few getting revenue, so theres not much incentive for minnows or low earners to curate. I'm on this site most of everyday, i could curate and vote so much if i had enough SP to reward posters.
If more new users got reward and the wealth was distributed more evenly. it would bring down the ridiculous amount some posts are recieving and more posts would recieve a reward. this in turn would hopefully lead people to write more realistic content because they wouldn't be just trying to come up with whatever they believe is going to make them rich in 1 post.
