The idea is to come up with a system that's condusive to broadly honest voting across the platform with negative side effects that are at least tolerable.
I'm optimistic. It'll be great even if it noticeable improves things. This entire place will change if it doesn't feel like I'm reaching into my wallet and handing you some cash every time I vote on something I actually like, which is what it feels like right now under this broken system.
You know I've been pushing for economic reform all along. I'm not willing to forgo my own voting rewards if 75% of all active stake is doing the same, but that doesn't mean I prefer this broken system. EIP will hopefully be a huge step in a direction that'll lead to mostly honest voting platform wide.
I really wish you luck with thi, steemit means a lot to me. It is the only source for me to bitch, whine, write, and have fun AND get paid for it. Good luck Traf.
