I fully agree and the library full of books about the library comment is spot on. The entire crypto reward pool upvote system simply doesn't work. Despite this, it was still possible to build a small community here around sports betting the past years which would be impossible now with the non-linear reward pool.

The only way I can see it ever work is if the reward pool would be removed and replaced by a tipping system while steem has a proof of stake algorithm. That would bring about the only form of honest curation even though I doubt the quality would come close the reddit frontpage still.
