I don't like what I'm seeing in the community around here anymore than I am guessing you do, but the solution is not an arbitrary cap on what people can earn.
I believe most would agree that Steemit is here to reward merit. We cannot hard-cap out our "Einsteins", or forever be at-or-below median in quality.
Exactly, thank you for this @lexiconical
Exactly what I've been telling all along. I once said it would be OK to put a dynamic cap based on the unique upvoters (At leaset 5 SBD or more per upvoter per week. So @haejin would be at worst capped at 5000SBD per week) and I was fine with splitting larger votes into multiple votes which would force the biggest whales to use more than 10 votes per day.
Still these are what I consider tolerable and not something I fully support.
