This dpoll is inspired by @Theycallmedan over his post on curation - [Curation On Steem - Let's Talk About It](https://steemit.com/dtube/@theycallmedan/ptb813uc). The emphasis of the discussion was on the need to make curation beautiful on steem while reducing the action of bidbots.
I captured some replies to the post:
>I'm for trying this. I know it will get gamed, but everything does.
One benefit I would see is that real users would actually earn from reading and voting instead of just posting, which could reduce the noise and allow for easier discovery of content. In addition, I think it might improve engagement.
Authors assume they would earn less, but I am not sure it wouldn't have a counter-intuitive impact and increase both Author reward as well as motivate curation. Maybe it would be an easier sell at 40/60 Curation vs. Author. -@whatsup
>I know I would buy a lot more SP and run more curation bots if curation rewards were higher -@Theycallmedan
I think this issue of curation rewards deserve some attention and indepth delibration as well as re-consideration so as to anhance the stay of curators who constitute the high investors on #steem while not losing authors who are the image makers of #steem.
What is then your take on this:
### Would authors really earn less if 50/50 Curation was adopted on #steem blockchain?
