Generally if I read something to the end, I upvote it. If I dont get to the end then I don't upvote it. I thought this was an interesting post. But it seems to me that the main problem with the Steemit platform is the 'Whales', That's the unfair power, that's what needs to be removed, however that will never be even mentioned because guess what, the people who created the platform DO NOT have the personal integrity to remove themselves from the whale class, because they are making too much money from it. Satoshi never moves Bitcoin. If you want a platform based on merit and not money, then you need to lead the way. Else you wont even be of the correct mindset to see the glaringly obvious problem with your own platform. Steem is a great experiment and I'm loving watching it develop. My suggestion, there needs to be a crowd decided level of power that all accounts trend to over time. And without stunningly successful posts, NO account should bypass this level, purely by virtue of having steem power, so when a post is in the top 5% of posts then you should get a boost to your power that lasts a few days and powers down, similar to how Voting power goes up. Steems successor will implement this, just as Bitcoin's successor will implement governance.
