A fork that takes us back to the n2 seems to be the only route to get back to 'popular' content trending.

If that is to happen then we might as well fix the ninjamine at the same time.

Using the steemit account to fight abuse @steemflagrewards style, and also to stop abuse of the n2 by outlier accounts might as well be included, too.

Clearly linear rewards have done what they were designed to do, ned is off the rails, the original design wasnt given a chance to change us but was rather changed to force the broader status quo on the community.

Who leaves a game because they are tired of wealth being flaunted in their faces by folks that didnt work hard for it only to join another even more disparate?

The obstinancy demonstrated by the top stakeholders has become a dead end, forking seems to be the easiest way out.
