Yeah, to blame the problems of Steemit/STEEM on the "little guys" who have practically zero power or say over anything, is just hilarious. When rich guys exploit systems, people say it's just taking advantage of an opportunity because they're so talented, smart, and resourceful - don't hate the player, hate the game; when poor people do it, they're leeches, it's wrong, and they need to get a real job. Subpar post by @ats-david.
That said, I'm in favour of 50/50 because it can theoretically increase manual curation.
