On the contrary @stellabelle - this is going to make the "common folks" more discoverable. Their 'training wheels' of 15SP delegation from Steemit Inc should be more than enough for them to get started on the path of gaining their own influence. This is going to create a culture of quality over quantity. Instead of 100's of useless posts and comments filling up the network, it will be much easier to sift through and curate good content. With less bots and spam interacting, it will be easier to find them. It might be a little bit quieter around here, but in a really good way.

I wrote a blog post about it here if you want to read more about my opinion.
