RE: Why Distributed Reputation is Immune to Sybil Attack.
Ideally custom content discovery would completely undermine the need to buy/sell votes entirely.

I'm confused. Not trying to pick apart what you just said but I'd like to tie back in to what I was saying:
The need to buy votes is undermined by the free votes, but the want for exposure by buying votes will attract only certain people, and hardly any content creators (starving artists will starve) but more likely advertising/marketing types (do you know about Jerry?), and of course, the fucking dread of the crypto world, the TA's, which I forsee as driving most of the social life straight out of the "market", and as I understand, the trending tab/custom content discovery Is the market, so unless I'm confused about the last part I don't understand how the product of vote buying will stop vote buying?
I figure if we find new heuristics to discover content that don't rely on post payout then there will be little incentive to buy votes in the first place because curation is happening without it.
OK now I understand it, the only question now is how do we avoid the circles being closed and encourage content discovery outside them, from new users not yet vetted? I imagine it would have to be through the "created" tab which poses the issue of not having enough attention/time to scroll through it even, let alone read the content, if and when the traffic explodes. I understand that certain known authors will be vetted by one circle or another as soon as they enter the scene, but what about a nobody?

Closed circles are a part of tribalism and hard to avoid. I would hope it would be financially viable to expand one's trust network and continue to seek out new users because the network itself gains value from such action, personally benefiting the stake holder in question.
I also think curation should revolve much more around resteems, as reblogging is practically the definition of curation to begin with. I think ad revenue needs to be split with content creators to face the frontend outward.
I think a new version of the created tab could be modified to filter it using far more metrics than just a timestamp. There is a vast wealth of information just sitting on the blockchain that remains completely underutilized.
