RE: A more granular look at Steem's account classifications
I think we should gradually move towards increasing curator rewards and decreasing author rewards 🤷♂️. So we will reach a certain point when people will be more interested in developing their account.
I think the only way this would make sense is if you could upvote off-chain content. Currently a big problem with Steem is that it doesn't seem like a healthy ecosystem for creators, so not enough people are bringing good content here to get upvotes. Squeezing author rewards even more seems like it would make that problem worse, not better.
I have thought this for a while. In addition to encouraging small accounts to power-up, I think it might also do a lot to deemphasize the delegation bots, and (as we saw the previous shift from 25% to 50%) it might turn out to be better for organic authors, too - despite the nominal percentage reduction.
