I don't think the system itself is flawed, it's just the way they started it up that skewed the organic process
so ... 2 possibilities;
- it will solve itself over time
- that process goes way too slow, so the whales need to do something about it
although I don't mind some people getting a lot of $ for their posts while others get hardly anything
the problem is that because of that the posts don't sort right ... too many good posts that go unnoticed and because of that sink to the bottom to never be found again ...
so, I'm not sure if something actually needs to be done, it could be that in another 3-6-12 months nobody talks about this anymore because it has been solved, but ... we can't be sure about that AND right now there's definitely a problem
just my 2 cents ...
