why should the community be stopped from rewarding the efforts of someone who provides valuable content? i keep seeing this presented as a viable option, it is not. continuing to give people things for free engenders dependence and weakness. a vote is a small acknowledgement of the value someone receives. without it complacency and resentment are bred. if someone cannot vote for something from which they gain, so be it, but @masteryoda was providing something that i want to reward and see more of, so why should a powerful downvote take away the choice of us all to better the community how we see fit? the powerful downvote has a right to their opinion. why should this extend to the suppression of the voices of hundreds of other steemians?
Why should the community pay while the same service is provided for free? Should we use our limited reward(currently under $20k per day) for a service that is free in other place? See that jesta only got $300 for his leaderboard service announcement, and he will provide the service without any additional charges. While masteryoda's leaderboard is still valuable, it surely is overpaid compared to jesta's (its marginal cost is zero)
The problem is that anyone could easily replicate @masteryoda's work now by using @jesta's leaderboard. It's a good series, but somehow it becomes redundant now. It's like robots have replicated many works of human in many industries.
