In a way, it already is.

I'd say most STEEM made here is not from manual curation, but from automated votes. The posts don't matter, they never have. They're a facade. No one even reads what's posted on here. Nothing would change if no one posted and STEEM was distributed daily based on automated votes.

The way you earn STEEM is by being in the right place at the right time which grants you spot on one of those juicy whale autovote lists.

It's already basically what you're suggesting:

>Instead, the protocol distributes Steem according to an evolving set of rules set forth by the community

There are pretty clearly-defined things what to do and what not do around here.

Say the right things, and you have a shot. Say one wrong thing, and you're dead.

Agreed mostly, except

.. is not the only way things work / only way to look at it. As like with most protocol, users usually have opinions and will discuss it. But discussion and consensus now isn't scaled by any blockchains nor will any changes translate into code evolution without programmers tinkering and getting it executed by supporting nodes.
