It can be called reward pool reallocation or any other term, but that's essentially what it boils down to: "I know better than you what deserves these rewards, so let me fix your mistake."
This is the reason I call out on disagreement on rewards as commie BS. Nobody has the right to interfere with another persons rewards that were gained without breaking the NAP. Reward pool rape is a manufactured crime and Reward re-distribution is simply just communism. Since when did the blockchain space went adopting from Marx and Mao?
Re-distribution is an infringement on a persons property and his/her sweat of the brow.
Agreed. Unless there's some sort of unjustifiable gaming of the system, there is no ethical reason to "balance" reward payouts on good content. It's arbitrary and arrogant.
