Thanks for your support! The main problem is that the return proposal has been voted way to high, so that hardly anybody who is not working for 'the top' can ever reach/hold the required level.

Now, as people who have voted the return proposal are powering up more and more STEEM over the time, the ground will get higher and higher and in the end no great project with ~ 10 million voted SP will ever receive funding. That's really sad and I hope that a few stakeholders will remove their vote from the return proposal.

I think that the level around 8-10 million SP should be enough for now to prevent really 'harmful' proposals from being funded.
