I wish I had a livestream of our conversation last night on steemit chat that discussed this very thing. By midnight last night, all of us were on the same page: @clayop, @donkeypong, @smooth, @ats-david, @bacchist (i think), @jesta, @sigmajin, @abit and many more I cannot recall. We all agreed that going with a closer to linear curve would be in everyone's best interest and the long-term future of users, and steemit itself.
