Sounds like you're really thinking seriously about the future! You got my support if you choose to create another similar platform. I'll try it out and look into it that is.. Otherwise the swarm of bots penalizing low influence users seems most probable at a glance!
If bad bots are used to collapse the Steem economy we just have to make the good bots stronger and evolve them with ideas like this beeing brought to the surface. I really hope you get a lot of feedback on this. Peace!
Thank you!
