RE: Downvote early, downvote often
It could be steem.freespeech or upside-down.steem or some other generally self-explanatory title (@steemchiller, could you please give me a quick opinion on how feasible you think this idea (a reverse rep view of steemit) would be to implement?).
I don't think that it would be worth the effort. Many (I guess most) shit accounts have a low rep, so one would need to filter manually and go through all the mess just to find a few interesting posts.
Since the majority of people actually don't want to see most of the downvoted stuff, there is not much money to be made with such a system. It's not a super bad idea, but I think it should be solved within the regular platform by providing more filtering features.
Sustainable platforms can be found where the mainstream hangs around. With currently only ~ 1.4 million users on chain it's probably just a waste of time. Many good projects died, not because they were bad, but because the targeted audience was just too small at that point in time.
Would it be relatively easy to just make a page that showed the top downvoted posts? And maybe the top downvoted users? I'd like a page that perhaps showed downvoted posts that my voting power could be used to counter-vote. Maybe something like this is already available and I just don't know about it?
The regular APIs are designed to return the data ordered descending. For a performant solution one would need to implement own API calls on blockchain/hivemind level and provide own nodes which run the new logic or build an own database that is optimized for the new queries.
It's not just about forking condenser and changing a few variables. Most changes would have to be made on the backend.
Ah, so, maybe not as easy as, https://usesteem.com/steemwhales/ (which appears to be down at the moment).
