Steemit linear rewards: Towards true revitalization of the platform?
Steemit is finally flowering into its final form, maybe no longer even beta?
The practical results of the linear reward scaling seems to be immediately apparent. Whaleshitposts have decreased in value substantially and everyone else's reward shares have increased accordingly. The number of votes is more proportional to the rewards and finally everyone's votes are worth something. Ever voted on Steemit before and thought "damn, I wish I could upvote this post 2 times"? Well now you can... and then some! It encourages people to vote more based on good content and less likely to spam every new post with upvotes just to get curation rewards. Genius!
Sometimes the simplest formula is the best one, ask any mathematician.
If they keep growing. I suspect Google or Facebook will make a push to buy in the future. Then the value of Steemit will skyrocket. It's a good time to be ground floor. If it fails, at least we all made a few dollars.
