It would never scale. It doesn't solve the problem because the global reward pool is a bad idea.
I don't think it necessarily follows but I understand there are significant weaknesses while at the same time it has it's strengths in its topical versatility. Granted it requires curators but things go awry when too much bias enters the process.
That's when we get voting cliques that turn people off as they become disillusioned from the buzzwords that may have brought them here. I personally do not think it's impossible to manage a global reward pool but it requires some degree of judiciousness and organization.
It just seems to be an asset of great potential if we get it operating properly. It's like having a crab bucket but getting rid of it because we can't seem to get rid of the leaks. I just can't seem to get around this idea that removing the RP is like putting your car in a donut.
The issue will still have to be addressed eventually.
Is the concept that these siloed layer 2 communities would be able to reward and moderate their users and minimize selling of the native token? Is that the idea?
