The side efffect of this proposal will affect some hardworking manual curating communities with standing promise to reward their delegators eg: ocd, bdvoter, Indianunited.
No matter the proposal as long as it all boils down to a system created by codes, people will always find ways to exploit.
I think we need to establish and reward a culture of generosity; in the end, anyone who votes is distributing HIVE that appears out of nowhere/inflation. It already is a gift-society.
Establishing a culture might be more in line than regulating things too much...
I love the optimism there :-) As a practical matter, I disagree with such cynicism. Game theory does work and software can be built that relies on it. That's true, regardless of whether this particular change would be an improvement.
I second this. The EIP while not perfect made such a positive profound change on the voting habits.
