"...we aren’t yet to the point where AI has rights though."
I think we are long past that point. I am aware of users with in excess of 10k accounts that have long gamed Hive for ROI using algorithms. Particularly top witnesses on Hive secure a preponderance of rewards through collusion and automation thereby.
Curation rewards are at the crux of the matter. I am confident you can gain nominal perspective, perhaps even enough to resolve the challenge. In the hope you, or someone competent to code such resolution will, I continue to persist here. Values more salient than financial need to ultimately drive curation, or another platform will succeed where Hive fails.
Wow! That sounds like it would take so long to set up, but once that part is done it would be a lucrative way to game the system. I’m sure as development continues we will see a host of new features implemented to rebalance things as best as possible.
I reckon the balance sought will depend on who is doing the developing.
