Wow, what a unique concept! Rewarding voters by forfeiting a part of your post rewards truly adds a fresh twist to the dynamic between content creators and their audience. Yes, it might have its drawbacks, like potential abuse, but I think the possibility of downvotes counters that nicely.
I do wonder though, if it was more widely used, how would it have shaped the platform? Would posts with bigger rewards always trend, regardless of content quality? It's all quite hypothetical, but it's definitely food for thought.
On a final note, kudos to you for thinking outside the box and rewarding your loyal voters. It's a great way to show appreciation and it certainly adds an exciting element to the platform! Can't wait to see what's next on your journey. 😄
