"In one hardfork we will likely fund the SPS.. removing something like 10% of Author Rewards. We will switch from 25/75 curation/aurhor rewards to 50/50 AND create a downvote pool also out of Author rewards. That is a shit load of change, and I am very concerned what impact it will have on our current community."

I have been worried about that. I know that there are arguments for it but I feel like it will have a chilling effect on the growth of the community. If we make less (and it's not like we are making a huge sum now) fewer people will show up to create here. I hope I'm wrong but I have a bad feeling about this.
