I am against the lowering of curation rewards by 75%. We should inventivise powering up, not disencentivise it. Why would you ever power up if you are not a well earning author?
I don't see curation as a big problem that needs to be adressed asap. Many more important changes are in the pipeline. Curators (bot or not) earn between 5-20% APR.
The difference is marginal unless you have >500k HIVEPOWER.
We need sinks, we need mroe incentives to power-up, we need HMTs, we need advertising, we need a rework of the reputation system... and so on.
Cutration? Yeah let's think about that in 2 years again after the important changes. There must be a better way.
