DELETE this comment immediately!!! Those are ALL my ideas! :-)
My initial comments still stand, however. Steemit would only be valuable to companies if it operated as it was designed to operate. All the "cheating mechanisms," would skew results making them worse than worthless ... false intelligence is worse than no intelligence. Companies need ACCURATE feedback.
There's a LOT of ways Steemit could generate TREMENDOUS WEALTH for its users ... but it has to run a clean game ... or all that potential becomes meaningless.
The cheating is TOXIC to institutions. They will not sully themselves with our disrepute (they create enough problems for themselves without dealing with ours as well).
You are a smart fellow. Perhaps we both ought to be consultants for the company! Nice to make your acquaintance. I've followed.
BTW ... the next time you have a brainstorm ... don't put it in the comments section ... DM me! :-)
Perhaps what the blockchain needs is to assemble a braintrust of people ... who can't code to offer up some non-coding solutions. To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. There's no "diversity of thought" ... it's all tech-heads. Not every problem has a solution that can be reduced to an algorithm.
