That's an interesting analogy @joe.public... hadn't actually considered the likeness of Steemit votes and power and... by extension... that this initiative (and another I have in the think tank) is all about trying to reverse that trend.

I feel a growing concern that the intense focus on ROI on Steemit is-- in some way-- like "killing the goose that lays golden eggs." Sure, it's exciting to see how much money you can get for your posts using all manners of gimmicks... but if your actions result in there not BEING a place to get rewards a year from now, then what good is your ROI?
