I don't trust the whales here. Who's going to design the system? I'm worried the elite will rig the advertising so their the only ones getting paid, while the minnows get compliantly ignored by advertisers.
The Steem platform needs less income inequality, and more disposable income at the grassroots. Minnows must be directly supported by advertising.
