I don't like that idea. People should be making good content rather than playing the system, but one of the things that attracted me to Steemit was the fact that I made more here than I ever managed to make on YouTube. If there's no author rewards, we might as well be on Reddit. And a (admittedly variable for many) income source is cut off from people. That's not a good thing. Choosing to have only one income source when you are in the position to have multiple diverse income sources is idiotic and taking away author rewards would be detrimental to everyone except for people who only curate - and curators shouldn't be getting paid and creators not - that seems really backwards given how much work goes into creating things. Curation isn't more deserving than creation.
That seems like a very interesting idea
