RE: Help Fix Steem's Economy!
Problem is that we moved away from the "gift" economy
Steem was never envisioned as a gift economy. It was and is based on directing rewards to those who contribute value.
Gifting can be done using the transfer function. That's not ever been the idea of the reward pool and voting.
Though I will say it wouldn't necessarily be an altogether bad idea to design a system around. But it isn't Steem.
move to 1.2 superlinear
Kevin and Traf like ^1.3 or ^1.2 superlinear (which they call 'mild' but I disagree) but very few others do. It isn't likely to happen, so perhaps consider the rest of the proposal without it as a more realistic take.
I might have expressed myself wrongly there, but STEEM being a "gift economy" is the idea being held by quite a few people which was the point i was trying to make.
The whole problem around all and any discussions that take this direction, i think stems from one single thing..
People have a different view of what value is.
On one side you have people trying to tell you what should and should not be considered value, what should be considered more or less valuable, and on the other hand you have people (and i consider myself in that camp) that say: "What ever you decide."
