The Pareto principal means that all tokens will distributed in a parabolic shape.
20% of the people will have 80% of the tokens.
Meaning, 80% of the people will only be there to break ties from the big voters voting.
The tokens will never be evenly distributed, and nothing can be done about it. There will always be people who are more liked, have more friends, etc...
So, any solution has to take into account this power curve
There must be a balancing of numbers (the 80%) and the power (20%)
This is also the same problem in post payout that only kinda got addressed a few HFs ago.
