"The current EIP is so focused on stopping abuse, which our own white paper tells us we shouldn't be focusing on, that it is hurting growth."
Even worse, I think it's hurting retention too.
"The fact that a post has to get to $4 before votes reach a linear curve is a prime example of that. That discourages people from voting for new/small users."
Great point, I never thought about that.
I probably should research the EIP more.
