I like the way things are now unless, of course, someone sees the status quo as hurting the POB platform. What I would personally love to see are some projections given the recommended author/curator distributions.

Given the current postings, engagement, 50/50 awards over the last two weeks:

• How would rewards change with a 75/25 split?
• How would rewards change with a 60/40 split?

How do these rewards change with...circle-jerking? Abuse (plagiarism, etc.)? Based on past trends how would it impact the platform? We already know one answer from Mr. @onealpha.pob. Why stake if you can't profit from it? Does the evaluated ratio affect people just starting?

Based upon the estimates, would it be worthwhile to shift the rewards?

@interpretation, @amr008.pob, would the development of such a model be possible? I understand that it would be highly speculative when adding concepts like abuse and investment, but I think we could estimate those values to see an effect.

Edit: What's the value of a model? We can refer to it later, make adjustments, and be more comfortable making an official decision rather than feeling things out. A review of posts related to this topic would be constructive when combining it with this analysis.
