Yes, I fully agree. I've been crying everywhere that everyone should have started with a reputation of 0 and go from there. Maybe have the rep system separated from steem power - every steemian has the same rep power that will move your level a very tiny bit ? That would mean you would have to get flagged by lets say 50 people to get into - rep and upvoted by a lot if you wanted + rep.

I like the advantages. It seems like more users benefit from it than don't. It just stinks for the unhappy few that don't haha.
Well then maybe have some kind of a minimal SP treshold that is attainable by normal people in a few weeks of steeming.
I would suggest to distribute some part of the daily distribution to all fully verified accounts
as #basicincome or #universaldividend.
This steady income could encourage participation from newcomers.
Managing the list of fully verified account can function like this:
Similar like the witnesses vote now for the blockchain, they or a separate list of witnesses vote for a list of fully verified accounts. The verification itself could be done through local meetups and or video chat.
