RE: The daily pick of hidden gems(behind the scenes)
Agree, why not keep all the sbd? It's hard work to find good post and summarize good post. No one else is doing it. An upper limit on author rep or author followers might be good to keep it a hidden gem post. That said I think a non trending gems of steemit might also be nice.
@biophil who is absent for some days is presenting some older content that he thinks didn't get enough recognition, he shares his SBD with his posts. Sharing SBD with promoted users would be a good way to strengthen those authors, but that is debatable (keeping or sharing). Some say that giving is receiving.
I think that most of that hate is coming through people's fairness senses which are objective and mostly have roots in dissatisfaction with rewards sharing, but that is not the core problem for me.
I was disappointed when I saw well know gems in hidden gems.
To add to your suggestion I would say that some good rules along those that you suggested would be:
post current potential payout at the time of publishing - below 5$ (or 10$, 20$ max is maybe too much),
max. subscriber to an author of promoted post - below 50(or 100),
time of publishing at least over 2-5 hours at the time of publishing promotion,
past payouts cap maybe.
Some rules like that would be transparent and would ensure that post is a hidden gem and thus would reduce hate toward author that is doing promotion. This would not stop all the hate but would certainly improve the credibility of the author that is doing promotion and would be "fair" since it's based on some accepted rules.
