RE: The @null.promoted experiment.
Nobody checks Promoted because it’s a poorly implemented feature. It needs to be fixed by STINC - or other interfaces need to step up and make it a viable feature.
But I still don’t see how this method will work out better for the people using Promoted. I think this is more likely to receive backlash, as other users will see the duplicate or link post as a low-value post that’s over-rewarded.
Put pressure on STINC and other interface owners to create a better promotion feature for users. I think that would yield far better results in the long-run. It’s definitely something that could/would be extremely beneficial.
Last null promoted posts were staying there for weeks with about 2 cents burned.
Replacing top spot by burning a few cent or low dollars sounds like a simpler deal than committing 100$ into dozens of promotion tools.
None of the other interface have even implemented the top burn page. So in the meanwhile that's better than nothing and certainly gets the ball rolling.
Should chat with the @steempeak devs. They are really good at getting things done.
They are probably one of the few groups that get stuff done on this chain without massive delegations.
They are pretty much the only frontend that even attempts to accommodate all the SCOT stuff happening.
Yes, Steempeek devs are impressive
We're already on it.
Wrote a document about what we plan to do and how we think it can be decentralized as we hope other interfaces also take it up and hopefully we can get steemit as well to change up their system just a bit to accommodate it. But regardless it's something we're planning on doing.
In fact PM me and i'm happy to share the document if you guys are into the subject so you can give some feedback.

I thought promoted feature is on blockchain level, not just UI. I agree.
I share my thoughts on it in more details here: https://steemit.com/newsteem/@geekgirl/pu8605
The burning of tokens is a blockchain function, but how the posts are displayed is certainly an interface issue. There are ways for interface developers to put promoted content into normal trending and hot lists. It's just not done, unfortunately.
