Your suggestion 8 is what we had before and it isn't any good. The current two payout system is significantly better than your proposal.
You misunderstand the reputation system. So I disagree with 5 as well.
Points 3, 9, and 10 are all good IMO and significant improvements should be made there.
We had daily payouts before? As far as i know we had ONE payout before, not a daily one. Right now you have 12 hours + 30 days and your content that you could have worked on for 10 years will never ever be able to make any money after that? That makes absolutely zero sense. Imagine Youtube disabling ads and voting on your content after 30 days, how ridiculous would that be?
visit http://steemwhales.com/?p=1&s=pr and then think about it if i'm the one that's wrong. It's literally a popularity rating, NOT a reputation rating! It's like giving PewDiePie the power to overrule Obama. Are you fucking serious?
