RE: The STEEM Ecosystem: Is the allocation of Delegate STEEM Power to the Technicals being made at the expense of the Commercials and Monetization of the Ecosystem? 5 Minute Short Video. (Apologises for the wind noise).
Those are some great insights @Stephenkendal, as always!
Proper wealth distribution is indeed a concern whether in real life, and even in crypto systems, Steem, and Steem-based dapps.
As you might be aware, 6 weeks ago I've launched my own dapp (@actifit) which aims to reward fitness activity (such as your walk with those bad boys - which could earn steem upvote and AFIT tokens :) ), with this we are attempting to reward any eligible physical daily activity and incentivise people to get more healthy and active.
I believe this approach could help spread wealth somehow in a consistent manner, yet still we do need proper delegations to be able to fund those upvotes to give steem (just to give you some numbers, we are rewarding/upvoting around 160 posts a day, with around 100K SP in delegation), which we are paying back with 5% beneficiary pays and lucrative amount of AFIT tokens as well. Until SMTs are properly released, delegations are one of the key foundations of rewarding in Steem, in addition to our tokens, and we need to ensure it is tempting enough for delegators.
Oh and would love some day to see you trying out your bad boys with Actifit app :)
