What if we had one day per week that distributed the daily reward pool to all the active users on Steemit and nothing to any content created on that day. This would be an incentive for smaller users to remain active and have a minimum Steem power balance to be eligible for the reward. My idea is that anyone who has been active on Steemit for at least three days during that week would receive a percentage of the prize pool. It could be treated as a day off for many of the full time Steemit users and a way to more evenly distribute Steem to more users. Users that might not normally get noticed will have more influence and it will incentivise users to obtain a minimum Steem power balance in order to receive the reward.
I apologize in advance for my bad minnow drawing and lame animations!
I know this would allow for some to take advantage of the situation so I hope to hear from more people with alternative ideas and ideas the improve upon this one.
Thank for reading

I think this is a great idea! I also think that this, and such other initiatives are necessary going forward, because as this platform grows bigger by the day, its going to become increasingly difficult for new posters to get any meaningful following.
Look at what happened to Twitter /FB, hell even the app stores suffer from the same issue even though they serve a very different type of content.
(Written on mobile, so sorry if there are any mistakes )
Content creators that can bring their followers with them from other platforms might have a better chance, but even then it will still be hard.
I am minnow who need your help!
Thanks for stopping by, keep posting and do not give up! The lowest payout I received for a post was 0 so if you put in the work it could pay off.
That's a cool initiative you have here. Although I don't earn much on my posts, i still try very hard to provide the best of the best content to this platform. I want people to learn from my thoughts, I don't care about money . I care about people who could get benefitted from my work. Money will always follow if you're good at what you do.
I agree with 100% of what you wrote.
Very good attitude, if you have success on other social media platforms its likely you will do fine here as well.
Like the idea, there are some users that create wonderful contents but they are not noticed. Thanks for sharing.. Resteemed
Thanks @evelyniroh I think it would be nice to have a wider distribution.
Thanks for sharing. :) it help us a lot. :)
I think it is an interesting idea, not sure everyone would like it but it gets a conversation started.
Great idea, would surely help people like me
I think it would be good for everyone
great
I think so
A free steem huh :) Problem is nobody's giving it for free
It would go to anyone who was active for the week and it would come from the daily chain reward. This is just my idea though, unlikely they would listen to me.
The best of all
It would be pretty cool
Focus on real exclusive content creators on Steemit. It's getting boring all this youtube links and copied articles from other resources
The copied stuff sucks for sure, someone will always try and game the system.
This post has received a 4.94 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @azfix.
Sounds like a great idea.
It would be cool if something like it happened.
I dis-agree with this idea. If someone posts here 3 times a day just to put a post up it would damage this place. The posts and replies have to be of quality. I up-voted this post because your minnow drawings are better then mine !!!
I think we have people doing that now, my idea would benefit the community as a whole. My idea was that they would have to post three times during the week to be considered and have a minimum amount of steem power. Thanks for the kind words about the drawings, I figured they might be offensive to minnows cause they were so bad. lol
That seems like a good idea, but i am afraid that it is very hard to realize, at least not with some serious coding behind about who is and who is not elligible for the reward. Hard to put a line i guess? Its easier to let the people choose with upvotes even if it mean that the upvotes are "shared" between the whales.
You are exactly right, this was more of a wish on my part than something that would probably ever happen. I just thought if enough people liked the idea it might be looked at by someone who could do something about it.
Its always good to think outside of the box. I have been thinking maybe a max cap on payouts per post would help spread the love...
Your minnow looks angry lol.
I thought about a max cap as well, but people would just do more posts or figure some other way around it. I am sure they would figure some way to benefit from this idea more than they should.
I like the way you think that's a wonderful idea!
Thanks, unlikely it will happen but its nice to think about.
