The REAL internet of content pays based on CPM (price per thousand views) and click-thrus ("Direct Response"). This is how Steemit should work. Make it equal pay per set of eyeballs or clickthrus, THEN, you can all discuss whether one set of eyeballs is worth more than another.

Curation happens automatically, it called click-linking, resteems, quotes, etc... This is how Google ranked pages in the very beginning, a Wisdom of Crowds solution. Adjustments can be made in the future to stop gaming, and those adjustments should be made periodically just as Google changes it's algos to reduce gaming of the system. It's never-ending, so witnesses will always have something on which to vote.

but you're not going to change ANY-thing, bc witnesses all have it too easy right now, and they don't want change bc it won't benefit them.
So they will vote all of this change down.

Steemit is sorta doomed in this way.
