Yeah I do agree with that and it'll be a tough line to draw...I'm conflicted about it too because on one side, it can help people out who are coming onto the platform who have a sincere desire to add value...on the other side, some spam punks can just spam a gif and rape the pool.
I like the idea of whales delegating their upvote to others who are actively searching for good content. Like the way @Ned delegated steempower to @dtube - I think that was a great move. Now DTube is actually growing and people are challenged to put better content and have better video quality in their videos...I hope it doesn't destroy steem and the optimistic side of me thinks that it'll somehow work out, especially since we're having conversations about it. The whales are listening. At least the ones that care about the platform and their investment.
Either way, super thought provoking post. Thanks for sharing.
