Curious about your last comment. Are you opposed to the whales who delegate their voting to initiatives like Curie, RHW, etc.? That is done with bots and accounts for a large portion of the whale bot votes now. (Most of the other bot votes are very small minnow accounts, which is why you often see 200 votes and almost no rewards.)

I am not opposed to them but they are band-aid solutions to an underlying problem. So those whale rescue operations are good in bridging the gap from an entirely dysfunctional system to one that works well. They were necessary rescue steps but not true solutions to the underlying systemic dysfunctionality. New algorithms need to be created that reward social energy. Social energy needs to be measured and rewarded accordingly. I do think you have done a huge amount for Steemit. You might be the most active one here which is respectable and worthy of recognition.

Thanks for the explanation! In case it was not clear, my intent was not to disagree but to better understand your point of view. In fact I agree that many of these problems remain unsolved.

I think it will be a long time before Steemit has mass social networking appeal - mainly due to the lack of mass appeal to cryptocurrencies in general. A lot of people don't understand Bitcoin, for example, and don't want to. So no matter how "social friendly" Steemit becomes, I don't think it will draw in much more people than it does now from Facebook, Twitter, etc.., Adding a social energy layer to the algorithm makes sense, however. It would be great to see Project Curie grow as well, including category-specific support groups. People like TDV may be disgusting to a lot of folks here now, but I'd hate to see Steemit become a place where the highest earners of "bonus money" are the sexiest girls showing the most skin Lol. Imo, Steemit has been and is attracting the right type of people - we just need to attract more of them, and we need to reward high quality content authors and contributors more. Can't do much about increasing the value of Steem, I guess - or can we?
