RE: Now you can see the numbers.
Yes, I understand the rationale.
People who have invested a lot of money here will now be making more for no additional work.
So maybe now more investors will come when they see how easy it is to make a buck off of other's hard work.
And we will tell the little worker bees "well just work harder and put out more content so you can earn and someday become whales!!! Ten years to become a minnow... So that is...hold on...let me get my calculator"
I get it.
It may work!
It's disgusting.

You are too focused on the existing distribution. "Works" to me would mean that there's less content, but better content, earning more. There's a lot that just gets funneled in a dumb fashion so there is room for it. So it's still compatible to a version I suspect you would be on board with.

It seems that what isn't being factored in here is how you get better content. It comes from people who take content creation seriously and treat it as the craft it is.
When they take the full brunt of the changes (funding of SPS and then cut to author rewards) they get demoralized and less inclined to continue to create that better content.
It's a two way street, though. If voting behavior changes then it will reflect this more. I see your point though, you rather need stake backing the good content craft as well. But I do see initiatives that back this, so it's not invisible.

Bam💥, you nailed it!

What I'm focused on is the fact that people who currently make a massive chunk of the curation rewards are now doubling that.
And who is voting on that?
Those very same people.
All in favor? Aye. (Let's ignore the masses saying no. They're just upset cuz we are taking the money from them. Conflict of interest??? Shhhhhh!)
The existing distribution is MORE fair than what all the people in green want.
But... Hey. They're all in the green, and they have the money, the voice, and the power.
So I guess we can take it or leave it.
I know what I choose. I will not allow someone to take more rewards for my work when all they have to do is upvote (and take 50% back) They don't even have to read!!!! just drop a random upvote on anything and collect more money. So disgusting.
I would rather they not make even more money on my work. I would rather give it away for free, on principle.
And I plan on that.
Don't worry .. there will still be plenty of content to upvote. The money will still flow. All the people in green can upvote anything they like, because it's their money after all. They can vote all day on trash posts because what does it matter? 50% of their massive votes come back to them and THAT'S what matters to them. The people who abuse the system will STILL be here, and not be as principled as rigid me. You won't lose trash, but you will lose good content creators.
How do I know? Because I'm one that you will lose.

I'll let you know when it works out. You and I have different ideas for how this will play out. You think you will leave, and maybe you will. But if it works, you'll see the reason to stay.
Saying the existing distribution is fair is laughable. There's so much wrong with how the rewards are allocated that I don't know how you can say that with a straight face.(Edit: ignore this paragraph. Misreading.)And yet....
I don't know how you can say with a straight face that it's perfectly acceptable to take money from small accounts and put it directly into the wallets of large accounts.
But...you can!
Because that is EXACTLY what is happening. You can deny it all you want, but THAT is what is being proposed. And you know EXACTLY who is going to benefit from this move abd who it will hurt.
And no. I won't create content in a system like that because I don't appreciate abuse.
I didn't say I was leaving. I said I wasn't going to produce content.
I also didn't say the system was fair.
I said it was more fair that what is being proposed .
Careful with what you read...you're starting to twist a lot of what i said .
Good thing numbers can't be twisted. those will remain long after and everyone will see those SAME accounts after HF21 and will see exactly where the rewards went to. Doubled. In large accounts.
Voted on...by people who will directly benefit from it.
You won't have to let me know when it works out in their wallets (and yours)
Cuz I will be able to see it on steemworld just like I saw it yesterday

Apologies. I did misread something, and edited accordingly.
Taking from small accounts and putting it in large wallets again is too short sighted. You have to see how the distribution shifts with the change in rules. Again, we differ on how we think it will pan out. So there's not much we can proceed here with.
Yes. Let's stop putting the focus on large accounts making more money.
It's exactly what's happening and yes, the whales will make more money, and yes..hmm we are taking it directly from small accounts... but.... if we focus on "the magic of HF21" it's easier to vote on it that way.
That rhetoric worked amazing for HF20 too.
We disagree.
You will make more money in this proposal as will almost all of the top 20 witnesses. Its easy to see why it's a great plan to vote on for you all.They have the voice and power. And now... More money.
I will lose money as will most everyone here, but again. They have the voice and power.
We get it. No need to continue to rub it in. This is the cost of being here. Bills must be paid, investors must make money, and the little people must be taxed to accomplish it.
In time enough people will forget the old ways and they'll be satisfied, and the big accounts will continue to grow, and they'll be satisfied!
Happy days ahead for all.

Comparing to HF20 is useless, it's not even remotely the same. And I'm not rubbing it in, you just seem so set on your ways that you refuse to see the possibility.
