Exactly, but the question is how does reducing the rewards for authors help out the platform? There won't be a parade of people voting for everyone who posts a good article because now they get more curation rewards, the guys with the bigger votes will continue with their circle jerk. It is like the trickle down economy, that first you have to get the rich richer so then the excess money will trickle down to everyone, it just isn't going to happen.
