It doesn't have to be implemented on blockchain level through hardfork and in fact not sure it could be anyway. Makes more sense for it to be implemented at the front end level. It would be trivially easy for Steemit, Inc. to adjust the algorithm in Trending on Steemit.com to exclude the payout from bought votes while calculating trending posts. Likewise for busy.org, or any other web front end. How a website displays blockchain information doesn't need to include witness consensus at all. Posts can be labelled as advertising or whatever.

That could work. I really wish it would, I am so tired of people whining about money on here. A little info (transparency ^ ^) about my past... Once upon a time I had to sleep behind a pizza place in an alleyway... My friends ditched me because I appeared "needy".... Later, They were ready to be friends again when I had a small apartment in the ghetto because I was "Just the right amount of broke" that made them feel good about themselves to have me around. Now I Day-Trade and those same friends are no longer friends because I'm not broke so to them it's not fair that I took my money and put it into Crypto while they got their tax returns and blew it on expensive restaurants and such that they could not normally afford. When people complain about money, 90% of the time it's because they don't have any. You can't make something from nothing and if you aren't willing to even put money into your own ideas why should someone else? I'm not going to stand on the corner with my leg out hoping that a whale will notice and want to mate with me in exchange for an upvote. When I was homeless i didn't wait for someone to feed and cloth me and here on the Blockchain I follow the same values. "From Nothing comes Nothing" so since you have the first idea that I've heard which will possibly fix some of this while at the same time bring investors (new money) in, I presented your idea to one of the witnesses last night who I know has the coding expertise to see if this is really doable.
