Thank you! I feel like so far the opinions lean to 'we like it!', so I need this post to see the other side as well. Did you weigh in on the discussions on the latest @blocktrades post already? I believe within only a few hours they will put up a vote for the community, might be important to show some of your perspective as well before that happens. Cheers!

Nobody is asking there wether we need this. Just where the money is going to come from. Donations or reward pool.
The deal itself is between @blocktrades and Steemit inc. They can build whatever they want and they should have this freedom.
If the funding for this WPS comes from donations it's fine with me. Then it's just another project on the blockchain.
If it requires a hard fork then it's a whole other matter.
Yes, the discussion is only about where the money comes from, but if people see your side of it (I mean your doubts if this whole system is needed) they might be less inclined to take a permanent cut of the reward pool.
I'd personally also love to see what proposals people might send in and what arguments they have for needing a fund for their specific proposal.
I think the reason we get so many "we like it" is because steemit doesn't have a secret ballot polling system. This makes getting genuine opinions extremely hard.
Also the polls can easily be gamed by voting bots. I don't take steem polls seriously at all.
