A intelligent and thoughtful perspective @taskmaster4450.

Yes... In a case use such as this.... Someone into a exceptionally niche subject would either have to delegate a few votes to a curator.... or would have to expand into another subject. Or they would become penalized.

In this case.... to me, this seems to be a question of the lesser of two negatives. Should we save the bird watchers from a penalty, at the expense of the entire steem ecosystem? Would that serve the bird watchers if steem lost its economic value to an a flooding of steem on the market?

Perhaps.... there is another way? Yet.... we have not been able to discover it yet. So, until a better solution is presented....

Should we forgo penalizing niche circles at the expense of the entire steem network?
