Removing the Comment Nesting Limit
Good, the comment/reply limit is annoying and seriously discourages interaction.
Removing Over Posting Reward Penalties
Yessss! now I no longer need all my alt accounts to post! (oh, wait, I still need them to not make a salaad out of my blog list!).
Single Payout Period
I wonder how would that impact in the not-so-popular posts being buried under 100 posts in less than a few minutes.
Comment Payout independent of Discussion
Anything that encourages FEEDBACK and users ACTUALLY READING the articles is good, you should add a separate flag system for that too (perhaps deletion rights for the article author?). I've already seen a "comment bot" replying in english to articles in spanish (this thing of facilitating botting is really a mess).
Can we do something about the UI at steemit? I've nearly 40% of the laterals of my screen "white", a wider canvas perhaps? (or at least place some ad fields in there!)
This post is purely about Blockchain features, not the UI. We have teams working on each in parallel.
I think most people don't get this fundamental aspect.
I'd be curious to see how comment nesting is handled UI wise for more than 6 comments. I am annoyed I can't reply to a comment when hitting that limit, but even with 6, it's already very hard to keep track of the conversation.
Reddit is better on this, so far.
As abit commented, reddit has this done pretty well. Once you reach a maximum depth in the UI you can open another tree of comments from there.
