VIP is in the works to add new experiences to this project. Possibly do contests or giveaways and special rewards. VIP will be adding more daily posts in the near future so keep a look out.
VIP Bonus At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool. The description below has been updated to reflect this change.
By now most of you know how the payout goes. I will be displaying only the VIP Feature and Bonus payouts.

What is Vote Interest Pool(VIP)?
VIP in a new project and an initiative to reward voters for... well... voting. You are already given this from the 25% deducted from post rewards and given to the curators as part of the Steemit platform standard. With VIP, you will be rewarded on top of this.
Similar to @steemsports, but the main goal of VIP is to progress the Steemit platform and have more steem/sbd/steempower distributed to everyone. The more everyone one can get, the better.
In order for VIP to be successful, it will need the community's help. As far as I seen here on Steemit, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Almost every user is rethinking how they use a social platform and trying to help Steemit grow. I am confident we can accomplish this and everyone can feel the VIP treatment.
VIP Feature
Every new post will feature a "VIP Feature" post created by fellow Steemians. To better the Steemit community in quality, this feature was created to support verified users on Steemit and get the community interacting more together.
In order to be featured on a VIP Feature, jump on Steemspeak radio and say hello and meet others in the Steemit community. Who know's, you may run into @charlieshrem or @ned in there :)
Once verified and we know you have a voice and are not a robot, You will be randomly queued to have your most recent post for the day to be featured for the VIP Feature. once you made it on the random queue list, one of your most recent posts will be featured once every 3 months to allow others to be featured.
The @voteinterestpool account will automatically vote the post featured for VIP Feature on the authors account.
VIP Bonus
At the bottom of the post, there will be 2 topics to choose from. Choose one and leave a comment giving reasons why that is your choice. The comment with the most votes will earn a reward of 5% from the pool.

Example:
If the VIP post hits a reward value of $500 after 24 hrs, automatically roughly $125 will be deducted for the 25% curation voting rewards.
The 75% remainder:
50% in SteemPower value of $187.5 will go to the @voteinterestpool account for the author post curation reward.
10% goes to the author on "VIP Feature" at roughly $18.75 value in Steempower
The remaining 40% rewards will be roughly $168.75 and distributed to 300 voters if the post reached $500 by 300 votes.
Everyone will receive roughly $0.5625 value in SteemPower.
So let's shoot for $1000+ so everyone who votes will get over $1 worth of SteemPower!
@voteinterestpool account voting:
Other than "VIP Feature" author's post @voteinterestpool account will follow voting trail of @instructor2121 and @fyrstikken because they are reputable members that are doing contributions to the Steemit platforms and are good judgement on quality posts and users on Steemit, if the event the @voteinterestpool account becomes large enough to have large voting power. This will ensure voting will be distributed outside of just VIP.
Disclaimer:
- @voteinterestpool may be subject to changes in the future to maintain operation
- If the VIP dividends are are less than 0.0001, it will carry over to the next VIP payout.
Special thanks
@instructor2121 for contributing to this project
Can't forget the Steemspeak crew. Their support motivated me to keep going so I wouldn't have made it this far without them. @fyrstikken, @proctologic, @contentjunkie, @inertia, @krnel, @sykochica, @patelincho, @tee-em, @noganoo, @pharesim, @mughat, @applecrisp, @raymonjohnstone @creationlayer, @shneakysquirrel, @pickokernel, @ausbitbank, @poeticsnake, @kiddarko, and anyone else I forgot to mention.
Note: There are probably many of you have wondered who created this project and maintaining it but it's not hard to figure out. I want VIP to be a community success and didn't feel like I needed the mention as the special thanks mentions those that have contributed insight on what they felt was needed for Steemit. I'm just another Steemit user learning something new.
Thank you,

If you are not familiar with GMO, it is Genetically Modified Crops. The DNA structure has been modified to produce new traits in crops such as higher yield or resistance to pests. Are you for it? or not?

Always will think GMO is bad. GMO didn't really hit are mainstream diets until the 80s. The rate of cancer is ever increasing in America, coincidence maybe.
That's my question, what is the long-term effects
Thats what is scary, we won't know until they happen. Glad to see there is a push for antibiotic free foods in recent years though.
they have researched in i think Romania with rats, one group fed organic corn the other GMO.The rats eating the GMO developed huge bowel cancers. Worst still was the 3rd progeny of this original coupling of GMO fed rats were also found to be infertile, both male and female !! GMO is part of the Eugenics plan for depopulation.
I am against GMO.

[email protected]ña Genetically modified organisms exist in the form of plants, animals and microorganisms.
In plants, they offer a broad benefit to the producer, resistance to pests, diseases, tolerate herbicides, adapt to the environment. Increased the yield per hectare, I am in favor of this system
Brilliant post and thanks for asking, continue motivating these interesting topics
I'm for it too of what it does but I would like to know, what effects does it have on those that consume these crops? It's like we have benefits for automobiles and the combustion engine when it was started but now we realize the pollution and the fuel it consumes is having a negative effect on things.
No original,organic, heirlooms. If its made in a plant don't eat it. If its a plant eat it.
I was a little confused reading this but I got it, If it's made in a factory plantation, don't eat it. If it's a plant eat it. gotcha.
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I am leery of GMO, which goes way beyond selective breeding. Even with selective breeding, there are unintended consequences, such as dogs who develop hip problems while still young or other issues because of a gene pool that is too small.
I understand the impetus to make better crops, but I'm not satisfied that adequate testing has been done. A lot of countries less influenced by big money are rejecting GMOs. I think if we cut down on food waste, we'd have less need for higher crop yields that might endanger our health.
I gotta vote it down, GMO that is. It's similar to Big Pharma. The more we see of it, the more we see stronger and more resistant afflictions in our health system. I can't back that up with any hard facts. Only source is my eyes, we have not become healthier moving away from involved stewardship of our land. Just older.
