Under the new system, I can't offer proportionate value. I like the content of small communities, niche interests, and people who have interesting conversations via comments. If these things are really

But just because you're a good person doesn't mean you know what's best or understand what it's like to feel pleased about a post worth 3 Steem. That's the reality for most good users. If you want to scroll

I share your concerns. Let’s hope it works out for the best :)

Does it have to be framed as a zero sum game? Believe it or not, there are stakeholders here who see value in rewarding users who are contributing value.

If anyone wants to put in the work to do this, they can use the SPS to request funding.

Do you want more users who have the ability to add significant rewards to your content to be actively seeking out good content to vote for? One of the goals is to make active curation profitable again,

The amount someone earns is 100% based on the stake behind the votes, not the number of accounts voting.

I have a large amount of STEEM that I am holding onto in the hopes that we head way up. I am also selling some to pay the bills (which doesn’t go far these days unfortunately). I am very much vested in

The new curve is not a switch back to the old curve. I don’t know what else I can say other than I have the exact same concerns as you do, and I agree that they are valid concerns. Despite that however,
