So on August 27 Hard Fork 21 will come alive of course if the majority of witnesses decide to go through with it, come on who are we kidding witnesses don't decide anything, STinc has them there, they WILL do what Steemit Inc wants them to do.
So 50/50 curation here we come, the curved linear reward here we come, and downvote pool here we come, good bye bidbots, goodbye self voting, goodbye auto votes and vote selling. I wonder who thinks these things will happen? What will happen is an exodus of a lot of people.
Now let's be realistic here, bidbots will not be hurt by any of these changes, self voting will be the same you know the self voter gets 100% of their votes value and auto bots will still be around and frankly I don't know why people think there will be more manual curation because of this.
Now I will let you in on a little secret nobody talks about and that is the circle jerk. This is one of the main reasons of Steemit stancating, you know the I vote for you you vote for me concept. There is a big group of people involved in this thing and you just have to look for them. These are the guys who post four or five times a day and receive rewards of between 4-10 dollars per post, most of these are shit posts of the I went to the city and ate at a restaurant type, then these posts get a lot of comments which are also upvoted and they really rape the reward pool.
These are the guys who root the most for the changes, you know its win win for them, check it out. 50/50 no problem it is about the same they get now only thing is STinc is taking 10% from them but that isn't much because, with the new reward curve they are among the few people who will reap the benefits of it, they always get 16 SP per post, so their rewards will sky rocket the 10% loss will not hurt them, then they get to downvote anyone who is taking money from the reward pool making their take even bigger.
So HF21 for these guys is a God send, no wonder all article these guys make praise the ideas behind these hard fork. For all others who are not in circle jerks or don't have much power, well we are fucked, of course we can hope the tribes might save us.
