RE: Gamification, influence: Importance of a level playing field

Whales would be highly discouraged to split because they won't receive any financial reward if they do.
The more whales do split the faster the ones who don't will build up their power.
If whales were to split and upvote their shit posts they would get moderated by other whales. The system would be a lot more scrutinized than it is now and posts would get paid based on their true value so users who want to cheat the system will have to post quality content to receive good payouts in which case they probably deserve it anyway
And yes I also think the curve should be flattened, removed actually. I'm not sure it would make much of a difference but we will see, it's in hard fork 17 apparently.
