By now and after all the posts i have read on this I think everyone is sure that this is just a money grab by the bigger accounts, all three, 50/50, reward curve and downvotes can only help big SP holders any way you look at it. All we will have is a huge circle jerk with the bigger accounts all using a vote bot so they won't even have to log on to make their daily money, and of course the usual smaller accounts agreeing with everything the whales say.
