@dantheman how about a system that will award more for finding out good content out of low reputable users than betting on the same steady trending authors. It would be something like betting when you play in favor of a team that constant wins the championship vs the outsider. I think something in the lines of that will benefit steemit the most. And will make it fairer for those that have some great and original content as they will be more likely to get a vote or two more in comparison to what is happening at the moment. We tend to be the "dollarvigilante" land.
