Wow ... well thank you for your long comment :)
A lot of the things around here are not perfect I totally agree .... but to say everything sucks is to much.
After all this place has been around for more than 4 years and survived and it is still giving value to people.
About earnings and concentration of the stake, I can tell with facts that its much better now than 2 or 3 years ago. There is much more active people now with 10k or more stake, that can give 0.1 to 1$ vote, meaning one can realistically get rewards for his post in the range between 1$ to 5$ without the big players.
On other hand we also have curators with big stake that do curate the average Joe, so to speak. I know that you have some votes from Splinterlands for example :).
Investing to curate efficiently is the name of the game now, and I have a dedicated account for this.
Resource credits are the obvious valuable thing now I agree, but their is also a lot of different moving parts to this system. One maybe want to invest to influence governance and witnesses and the DAO fund.
Revenue from ads and buybacks are great and I support this, just not sure how it will be done in a decentralized manner. Maybe someone need to make a proposal?
At the end .... what do you think? How to redesign the system? Any ideas?
