How about showing adds on the right side of the steemit.com page.
The users if clicks the add - s/he gets paid a bit of steem, if s/he upvote it -gets steem. And these steem come from the accounts of add providing users.
This will help generate additional reward steem for users without steem inflation.
There have been a lot of discussions about it. There doesn't seem to be consensus on making the change.
