but content is on blockchain right? 

Of course is not verified the poster is the author, cant sell it, etc......  but the poster has the right to change it.


and I see potential to monetize old content in this way with Banner adds etc.


Edit: And its more Ownership then classic social Media.

Don’t be an asshole. 🙂

Are you asking what the use case for Steem is or what I hope doesn’t change? Maybe you asked the wrong question.

<b>Fork (blockchain)</b>
In blockchain, a fork is defined variously as:

"what happens when a blockchain diverges into two potential paths forward"
"a change in protocol" or
a situation that "occurs when two or more blocks have the same block height"Forks are related to the fact that different parties need to use common rules to maintain the history of the blockchain. When parties are not in agreement, alternative chains may emerge. While most forks are short-lived some are permanent. Short-lived forks are due to the difficulty of reaching fast consensus in a distributed system.

Could just create a rewards pool in which 51% of each vote is added to it. Then the pool is distributed daily based on a combination of voted vests, amount of votes(viral posts should receive more)(possible max amount of viral posts per week payout), early curation, resteeming and any/and or all other interaction requirements per day. As the network grows so does the rewards pool.

I think inflation is actually a good thing and one of the things that has set Steemit apart. 
- Inflation redistributes wealth, while scarcity keeps the wealth on the same hands. Bad for growth.
- Infaltion makes it necessary to work all the time to keep up the investments - therefore it is more dynamic. Also good for growth.

I agree with your second bullet note about the stake-based votes. It might be combined with a vote count bonus.

I also think that the problems with Steem is that it has been so (ideologically) free that the experiment has been hit with so many clever machinations. Many people have left with a very bad story of corruption and power abuse.

I am not economically educated at all, just my overall view.

I don't entirely agree, I think there should be a place for inflation but not being totally dependent on it.

Generally, posts that organically grab mass attention will continue to grab more attention once it's popular. That's why the term "viral" was once used. Not everything pushed to the front page will be viral.

Let's say you have a book and want to advertise it in Steem blockchain, would you advertise on a trending post that has $200 in reward, but has no comments or resteem,
Or would you rather put your ad in a post that has only $1 due to low SP voters but recently received 1000 real comments and resteems and continue to get more interaction?

If you're selling any product you would know that traffic is valuable. And 1000 viewers with medium to low income is better than one very rich viewer
The rich may buy one book, but 1000 people may buy 1000 books.

That's why Steem need to reward posts that get more attention and more engagement because that's where the real money is.

(Example of paywall from yours.org)

Now imagine if Steem allowed you to have posts' paywall that people can buy to view the rest of the content
And what if the trending page was based on the number of times a post has been bought with an algorithm that prevents bots and self payments
What if Steem value was based on content being bought and subscriptions the like of patreon?
What if the reward pool algorithmically reward content that do well in terms of donations?

Now this is really a content/engagement based blockchain that we really want. I envy [Lino blockchain](https://lino.network) for striving to become all that Steem failed to do. Except too bad they are only focusing on video content.

Stinc should just buy out steempeak 😂
