I think that most of the "issues" relating to content/voting/rewards is due to the very low number of users. In my opinion, most of this stuff goes away as the user base expands. When we're talking about 25K, 50K, or 100+K active users, there's no way we could even see all of the posts in a given day. That's when our own little groups will emerge and we essentially just vote on content from them. There may be some trending page voting, but I can't imagine a lot of that will happen - and the SP rewards will likely be diminished per user. 

Everyone is too caught up with what's happening *right now* and they want to make changes based on that. If there's no actual abuse, then we don't need to worry about it. Most of these "problems" are preference related and don't need to be addressed. Blind/Auto voting is a concern, but there's not much that can be done about it, other than not supporting the people running those apps and not supporting the bad (in our opinion) content that they upvote.

As @inertia pointed out - if there is a way to get around the code, then it will be done, as long as there is economic incentive to do so. We can play the cat-and-mouse game, but how far are people willing to go to prevent gaming? And what impact would that have on the platform if/when the economic incentive is eliminated? 

My opinion is that we need to wait for this place to grow. If we can expand the active user base to ten times (or more) than what it is now, and also continue seeing stakes change hands and become more distributed, we'll see most of these issues resolved without having to make a bunch of new rules and implement a bunch of new code. For a place that is *supposed* to be decentralized, I'm seeing far too many calls for rules and coding changes to favor certain content...or to push it out entirely. It's ridiculous - and it's not good for adoption and investment from those who like the initial concept. 

*Come for the decentralized blockchain and censorship-resistant social media platform! Stay for the infighting and clamoring for more content-based rules!*

^ That doesn't work.
