If you haven't noticed, there's been quite a bit of different thoughts on how the STEEM blockchain should be updated to fix the rewards pool. One thing is for certain though, no matter which updates or variations we make to the way rewards are calculated, it's not going to immediately fix the distribution problem on STEEM. While we can hope to find the right balance of rewards to get stakeholders voting and curating content on the platform, Steem Engine is providing alternatives that you can take advantage of right now.
