Wow, this is a great idea. It doesn't upset the apple cart, but it would give some power where it's needed. I think the problem now is that,in the face of whales, too many newbies are being tempted into giving up their voting power to automation and curation schemes, instead of encouraging diverse content. It so frustrating to see 100 views and 20 votes, but 40 people commenting. I truly think this is a symptom of the imbalance you're mentioning here.

I also agree that plankton retention is essential to platform growth, which is the key to lifting the rewards cap through a higher steem price. I think. Anyway, that's part of what I tried to do with @dolphinschool bootcamp. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for supporting me and return the favor with a small upvote and comment. Thanks, and keep it up, this is great content! @makrmorrisjr
