RE: Updates to Post Curation and Rewards + A Call for a Community Vote on Content Curation in the FreeCompliments Community

Interesting thoughts, and I think I did see mention at one point of each community having control over its own rewards. I think taskmaster may have mentioned this, although I don't recall clearly. It definitely has great merits in terms of decentralization!
While I can see this solving the issue of having a single fund that distributes among various communities, it seems like it would be dangerous to get rid of the pool of rewards on which the entire blockchain is based. After all, isn't HIVE the foundational token of the blockchain? I can't see how losing would do anything but fragment the chain into an indecipherable mess.
That said, I also don't have the experience nor knowledge to think this scenario through as others have, so I'll totally concede this to the smart people who have already done so! 😁
Surely the rewards in Hive wouldn't go away... Hive is the heart of the blockchain, without a pool that can be farmed unjustifiably the rewards would be reallocated... There are some proposals for reallocation and some advocate doing it now... I don't think it's time yet, but I also believe that the current model is not favorable for a network with a large number of content creators. It would be impossible to prevent abuse, the pool would be so diluted that the rewards would lose their meaning, so why keep it when you can direct the resources where they would make a real difference? But that's another discussion that has nothing to do with this one...lol
