Well first off, I want to thank you for explaining it in a more dummy proof way so I can understand what's about to happen. Also for learning the valuable HF20 lesson and testing the codes first.

I'm concerned about taking away the inflation interest pool, that was probably my main source of steemit income!😂😂 I'm just kidding really. I will still be sad to see it go but whatever brings value to the community with various projects and proposals in the long term. I do have legitimate concerns tho about changing the rewards to 50/50. I understand the motive behind the decision but I'm not sure it will really work out the way you intend. It looks nice in theory but we all know the peeps of steemit and they will find other creative ways to game it and it probably wont trickle down like some of you hope.

At some point there was some whales or other high profile user bold enough to make posts about finding great quality nobodies that they will never vote on because they have no potential for earning any curation rewards on them and bragged about voting on the high profile circle jerkers instead even if it was shitposts because that's what will make them more rewards. Can you see where I'm going with this? So now my impression is that for us the low earners that do not participate in bidbots, we are about to earn even less. I have doubts that it would promote honest curation as intended. I could be wrong but...

I get that's what the free downvote pool is for but lets face it, nobody is going to downvote their buddy no matter how they are acting or others risk a perpetual flag war and get their reputations destroyed to take a stand. Once again, sounds nice in theory but will it work?

Next on the list. Spammers be spamming Hormel Foods out of business no matter what the reward curve is because that's what they do, I'm not sure they know how to use the blockchain any other way. That's why bandwidth allowance was implemented, sounds like it didn't quite solve that spam infection. I would like to be like a whiner and say that if this goes forking wrong I'm out of here but I almost went into withdrawals during HF20 (I now know what a crackhead feels like without his fix) so I'll probably be here no matter what. I think I have come to terms that this place is fucked up and more fucked up shit is going to come along in the future and might as well just be here, have fun and socialize and adapt with each hic-up.

Since I already wrote a post on your post I will get off your blog now. I wish you all the best of luck with the implementations and hopefully there will be minimal down time associated(I don't think I can mentally survive another H20 drought...lol)

Cheers! x🐞x
