No I think you have it really wrong, the biggest problem here is the circle jerk, where a group of about 100 or 200 people vote for each other every day and for nobody else, they take most of the rewards, you just have to look at the people who take in over $20.00 per post same guys same voters. And I see nothing wrong with that, they are taking advantage of the system legally and nothing is going to make them change their ways. whether the rewards are 50/50, 80/20 10/90 they still get the same votes and the same curation rewards and the only work they do is post a short article of so so quality and have their voting bots do the rest and reap the rewards. You go ahead and try to fix that by changing the reward system, 20/80 will just make the few good authors that have stayed here leave ASAP. I am still here because frankly I get a kick out of writing bad posts and making a few cents off of that.
