I like the potential that this has for the future of curation (shocker right?), and see it being the start of a Steemit, Inc. backed curation guild which will reward those authors that have the larger scores. The how, as in what affects the scores is always something I will be wary of but as of right now, I feel the system is pretty fair at calculating scores.

I also do get a bit concerned when everything is controlled by the few, and while I think the accounts that are larger have done their time.. I wish those consistently shit posting weren’t rewarded with high scores just because of tenure essentially. But, it’s an improvement overall so I won’t nitpick.

The continued circle jerk is always a concern though and I’m interested to see how it plays out. As of now I support the initiative, think it’s a great alternative to bid bots for those accounts wanting to increase their profits a bit, and want to be involved in any way I can.

Excited to see how this shapes the platform and the actions of users in the weeks to come. Whale by next week is completely doable I think as well.

Great job, I think you brought up some good points.. and now I’m hankering for a swim. 😜
