The problem is the reward pool is too much. Those highly paid "trash authors" are more often than not just vote trading.. then getting a lot of follow-on votes when their "content" hits trending.

Sometimes they have a whale sponsor who is altruistic, but ends up picking content that is unappealing for everyone else to see.

    I think setting a maximum reward for each account per day or week can be helpful. it can be calculated by steem power or reputation.

      I disagree, i think we have to do everything we can to let people use the steempower they have freely.

      • That means letting people take whatever proportion they want of their own vote power as a dividend for themselves.
      • upvote and downvote content with 100% of their steempower instead of 2%

      What is the effect:

      • The reward pool shrinks to an equilibrium with the content quality since many will elect to take a share out of the reward pool for themselves rather than support content they don't like.
      • If they choose to whales and dolphins can take a healthy dividend and let the masses of other users more democratically pick trending content.

        There is still hope: I know at least some of them want to go in the "more freedom" direction.

        A lot of people seem to think that top-down control is the key to success. They are wrong, and will kill steemit if they get their way.
