I'm awfully conflicted on it right now.

I see pros & cons.

Pros:

• good prize to give out
• supports smaller Steemians who don't have their supportive audience yet
• benefits the giver & the receiver
• enables daily income for daily writers

Cons:

• goes against the proof-of-brain economics, as I won't truly know whether the person I'm gifting a share to will keep up their post quality
• promotes auto-upvoting, which in and of itself isn't wrong, but blindly given out in giveaways might become problematic

Here's a thought: What if SBI changed to a more exclusive members party, where only qualified, recommended, and approved people will get in? It totally changes the payout math, and sorta stunts the "help out a small user" narrative, but maybe it's ultimately a better path?

I don't know... Like I said, I haven't made up my mind yet ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
