What about Resteems?
In my opinion the most important curation tool isnt being rewarded..
Also while I understand it's important to have a good basis, you should also start to rebuilt Steemit.
Cuz that's the layer people use.
Not the steem Code but the Steemit Code (frontend) decides about what is shown on for example trending.
Also you shouldnt have changed to linear rewards in the first place.
Insead of really getting something right, we are in a destructive repair loop..
Just finally decentralize and let the community decide.
Central entity is not decentralized.
Use ur ninja stake to fund what the community wants.
