Exactly, removing the reward pool instantly solves the major things that are wrong with this platform. It's also hard to argue against it. If content creators leave it's because they were doing in for the wrong reasons in the first place. There would be also no more reason to pretend or bend your content around subjects just because you know they get the upvotes and the entire facade would be exposed instantly.
