Thank you for sharing this. I think back to when I started with crypto and how the whole idea behind it was transparency which to me is still a key aspect of it. As someone who is still pretty new, I did have one post that received a daily award in Feb. before the MSM started.

Since I am new and esp. as I try to establish myself here I will say MSM kinda of made me lose interest for a week or so because I wasn't on the leaderboard and knew I wasn't going to be anywhere near it. Since I try to write all of my posts and put in effort it's harder to post frequently enough to land on the leaderboard. Now to fix this I am not sure but like you highlighted neither system was perfect.
