RE: [SPS] Proposal for the agreement of the down-voting standards
Your points are valid. Many people on Steem are frustrated with the toxic environment caused by whimsical downvoting. Sadly, I don't believe your proposal is the right solution to the problem.
We need to remove the Proof of Brain reward system on Steem and make it an SMT thing exclusively. A universal voting system based off of stake-weight is centralization and control by the wealthy.
Is there / has there been a proposal to change the proof of brain reward system to prevent the centralization and control by the wealthy? Seems like one of Steem's biggest drawbacks. Or is SMT going to solve this? (I'm quite new here and trying to figure it all out!)
There are plenty of members that want to remove PoB from the STEEM currency and make its minting separate of any "reward pool" related to content. The problem is that different communities care about different types of content and should not have an impact on other communities.
SMTs can't solve this problem if STEEM remains PoB. This is because the STEEM currency will always be viewed as the "real" asset in the system unless it was made neutral by separating STEEM minting from the reward systems.
