I was asked to post my view on HF21 50/50 which is going to be introduced.

As a contest host, I am not here to make a profit for myself. What I earn goes as contest prizes. If my earnings suffer because of changes then the contest prizes will suffer. In my view, entries will drop off and if this is significant, it won't be worth holding contests that are a valued way of winning steem for some.

You speak about investors being paid more. I was considering investing in Steemit like my friend @organduo. Now, I am putting that on hold to see what happens with HF21.

I agree with you about bidbots. They will still be frequently used and will rake it in.

BTW, there are other social media that pay authors. One example is Tuetego that pays in normal currency.
