Very interesting concept. I need to look into it more, but on first glance it does look like a model that has the potential to highlight quality.
I'm sure many will find the direct Steemit.com implementation to be less than democratic, yet it is perhaps no different than a collective group of Steemians creating a large voting pool that they use to curate based on their own set of standards.
Again, very exciting, but I need to review more. I have resteemed, thanks for alerting me.
no problem. but again. i still see a way for paid promotion. all they have to do is use outside sources. possibly even other blockchains to ensure trust. now you have 'good person tokens' that somebody bought with ethereum or eos and it'd be harder to track. it'd be easier to fool people because the tokens themselves are made by steemit inc. i just wish they'd go with 'wisdom of the crowd' instead of 'wisdom of steemit inc'..
