Yes this gets to the nerve of the problem. This has always been an ongoing problem for dpos. That is poor distribution, reliance on whales to keep the excitement and attention there and it's just too big of a problem for a few whales to handle. So that set me on my course of there had to be some type of metric rewarding system based on participation and not just occassional random votes. To avoid that we chose not to use proof of brain but that doesnt mean there can't be some sort of programming to help assist it.

I think the bottomline is such a system shouldn't even be decided by a few individuals but almost be an automated bot or something . As bad as upvote bots have been and have plagued dpos. The reality is upvote bots did serve to somewhat neutralize the gigantic amount of poor distribution and missing of valuable content. In our model we put forth a token that used the Proof of Participation model and your time and action moved to your value. Perhaps there will be solutions like this for ohter projects in the future.
