How do you think interface changes can work towards a fairer rewards outcome? One thing I read a while ago was hiding pending payouts. How do you feel about that? At first, I thought "No way, I want to see my pending payouts!", but then I figured it might be better, because it would make it harder for people to 'follow the money' on big upvotes. Though ofcourse you can always check out past payouts on people's blogs, so I wonder how much effect it would really have.
Currently, especially for small accounts, many of the defaults cause small accounts voting power to be rapidly consumed. If a minnow posts 4 posts a day, they knock their voting power to 80%, and any more votes after this, and every day like this, their vote power goes down, and down, and down, until there is no more.
So having an interface default that causes an unwitting consumption of vote power is doubly deleterious to minnow accounts.
There is other issues I have in my sights related to this, you can see a github issue I posted about the vote slider.

I missed the reply and issue, and I stand by my assertion that it is a bug. I am even locking horns with a highly upvoted witness on this issue. They are proposing to eliminate bandwidth limitation in the initial HF20 proposal, which in my view will open the floodgates for a tsunami of spammy nonsense originating from digital sweatshops 'mining' steem.
Which reminds me. I really have to write about that.
Aah I see! Yes, it is very hard for smaller minnows to keep up their voting power. I've heard complaints about that before. I definitely understand you fighting to give them a slider aswell!
