I completey understand don't worry about being long winded as this community i think and value comes from detailed content haha. I do agree that the group should work together. Specific groups who are able to judge content to certain degrees.
However, let's take Musing.io for instance as you mentioned. It functions like Quora which is a wealth of information. That can be useful to many people. Let's also look at Dtube which functions like Youtube which is also useful to many people.
The problem is steemit inc. if im not mistaken gave dtube over sp or steem etc., I think that's great to help such great ideas have an opportunity. However how is this judged and by whom? In that case Musing.io and alot of other useful systems should be given the same opportunities. If that makes sense?
So for me in my project steemitocracy. It's just much easier to create hybrid structures that use account-based voting linked to stakeweighted voting. Atleast then there is the respect of the value of the content. If not the reward and monetary weight behind it.
good reply. i think another thing that could or should bed one away with is the whole vote buying sca.....system(yeah lets call it a system). i know that that is a very polarizing topic. ether for it or against it. to me buying votes is just corrupting the trending list as well as draining the reward pool. i do however acknowledge that vote buying can be helpful for minnows. however the system can also lead to people half assing their post. yeah i know that is funny coming from me who has been called a shit poster.
