Reply to 50% Author / 50% Curator Rewards Changes

I'm absolutely against a 50/50 split. It won't magically increase the price. It won't make whales vote more for the average user.

Who will profit?

• Whales
• Already famous authors, because they get high votes and everyone wants a piece of that if possible

I actually count myself to the second group. I'd likely benefit from a 50/50 split, due to people seeing me as a good target to earn (which is a perverted way to look at content creators).

Who will heavily suffer is the average user, who's already earning below a dollar per post. That dollar will be cut in two, and it's likely that the post won't even be voted because there's not enough curation to snipe.

This is another step away from content, the one thing that really differentiates Steem from most other blockchains. The reason many users even came here.

I know many don't see a value in content. I know many think that those who invested money should be rewarded more. But you're forgetting that without content, there's no reward either.

Time to unearth an old meme:
