Why do we have to repeatedly discourage short content? Why can't we embrace it? Why can't we encourage Hivers to become short-form-wordsmiths?

I think this would have to do with our current reward system which was designed for long form of content. The fear is: embracing short form of content will lead to abuse of the reward.

I stand to be corrected but I don't think the current system is optimized to leverage social metrics like views and engagement.

I will like to see how project blank would do when launch. This might be the killer dapp we've all been waiting for.
