RE: Downvote Pool Deep Dive
What makes more sense than changing the home page to promoted (few people want to see only ads) is to include a few of the promoted posts on the trending page like pretty much every other major internet site with similar content (reddit, google search results, many news sites, etc.)
I mean anything to give someone demand for using that feature, otherwise it's like a useless gimmick.
Yes, that and not burning all of it, but allow people making a blog post to opt in to advertising and advertising revenues. There are top content providers that won't ever make the move to STEEM today, and surely won't if the screw-new-users-over convergent linear rewards were implemented, that might be sueded by swapping their current reliable add revenues by reliable add revenues in SP plus the chance to play orca/whale lottery that by itself clearly isn't pulling in any of the big guns.
