RE: Make Steemit Great Again: Fork This Place!
Agree. Flattening the reward curve would help though. Is it enough? I don't know, but it should at least be tried.

Ofc it should be tried :) Actually it should just be removed completely.
The curve serves no purpose at all, it was meant to discourage self voting which is a non issue. Like I said already, self voting is like trolling, if someone were to do it repeatedly they would get downvoted and blacklisted. Reducing the large majority of users's rewards because of some issue that doesn't exist is ridiculous. I don't even understand why so many people want to 'flatten' it, just remove it already.
You keep saying this and I keep thinking you're missing something. How can you know it's a non-issue when the curve is currently dis-incentivizing it? If we made the curve linear (what you call "removing" the curve, which is also very confusing), a whale could come along and spam empty posts to the blockchain, upvote all of them, and receive a vastly higher reward than they would in the current system. Your answer is to downvote, but why hack the solution when we can bake it into the algorithms?
