But I think there is another problem with @yallapapi 's solution. It is to make these people (whales and dolphins) come to an agreement. They have no incentive to do so, just like in any societal system.
The incentive for them is to have a business passively built for them from scratch, or one that complements whatever business they already have in addition to more payouts from using their SP.
As such, I think it will only occur if the people underneath them put the pressure on them. Some form of revolution. I have no idea how to do so in a peaceful and orderly manner, any suggestions are accepted.
Here's a suggestion: no.
There is no way to "pressure" them into doing what you want. They are essentially doing the equivalent of plundering a dictator's economy before the country falls apart.
The "incentive" to them is the following:
- Create a content-based business around a certain niche (crypto, health, make money online, dating)
- Leverage that content into a business
- Leverage their goodwill among their new writers
- Run paid advertising campaigns for brands via articles on their account
- Be the first ones to transform the reward pool into a gig marketplace
- Make even more money from their SP/delegation
Basically, more money for less work. And a solid business that will last even after this platform dies.
