Well, KE Ratio only really relates to those who make posts, and especially those who make a ton of posts, which wouldn't be there if it weren't for the earnings. If you only make a couple each year or mainly read and make comments, KE Ration is simply not important.

If you would make regular posts and received significant upvotes from curation groups on each of them, I'm sure you could agree that this wouldn't be entirely right.

The main idea on Hive for content creators is that it goes both ways, and content itself doesn't really count as a 'contribution'. Users should both get and give some and in order to give you need some Hive Power, in order for it to be a fair amount it needs to be seen in relation to what you received so far.
