I don't know who in the "every side agrees on" I was able to vote on but I sure as hell don't want to remove author or curation rewards. What the hell is left for the average person? Even my decent (meager in some circles) stake of 19k would be something I wouldn't be able to grow. I and countless others would say fuck it and just leave.
The allure of a place like Hive is that a lot of different types of content can be rewarded. I know some doesn't and that's got a bunch of reasons behind it, I don't see the point in ruining something completely like that because a few people are upset.
