The problem with gamblers is that they always lose. The Huey Long algorithm discourages gambling, and I reckon it would restore the curative purpose of voting, since every other platform I am aware of that allows voting is pretty strongly reflective of curative intent by voters. It is the jackpot potential of the betting pool on Steem that eliminates curative purpose for votes.

Along with UI improvements you seem to have in mind, enabling discovery of content, how do you think that would impact Steem?

Thanks!
