Awesome post @kingscrown!
There are a LOT of features coming up as well, such as weekly and monthly reward pools for the best content creators, night mode, integrated wallet, much better review/editorial system, airdrops, staking, renting etc.
What I think they are solving is what everyone is annoyed about with Steemit - that great content is not nesecarilly rewarded.
They want to have a ceiling of how big a whale account can grow, and while keeping the "grinding" effect of getting more voting power, slowly top it off..so that someone who is staking 50k tokens does perhaps have twice as much voting power as someone with 25k tokens, but someone with 100k tokens does not have twice as much as someone with 50k tokens.
Also keep in mind that Trybe is in its infancy, and they are constantly upgrading. Great team and all ready a great community focusing on quality content. Yes, I am biased (as a trybe hodler) BUT..the editorial is making sure quality content is on the front page - so I use the site to stay up to date on crypto stuff.
