Last null promoted posts were staying there for weeks with about 2 cents burned.
Replacing top spot by burning a few cent or low dollars sounds like a simpler deal than committing 100$ into dozens of promotion tools.
None of the other interface have even implemented the top burn page. So in the meanwhile that's better than nothing and certainly gets the ball rolling.
Should chat with the @steempeak devs. They are really good at getting things done.
They are probably one of the few groups that get stuff done on this chain without massive delegations.
They are pretty much the only frontend that even attempts to accommodate all the SCOT stuff happening.
We're already on it.
Wrote a document about what we plan to do and how we think it can be decentralized as we hope other interfaces also take it up and hopefully we can get steemit as well to change up their system just a bit to accommodate it. But regardless it's something we're planning on doing.
In fact PM me and i'm happy to share the document if you guys are into the subject so you can give some feedback.
