I would say this only serves the content creator. Do you want quality content on here or not?
If someone is taking an hour to put a post together, which many do, why would they only get 50% of the pool?
In an effort to solve a flawed curation system, something that was abused by more than a few, you screw the ones who are providing the most needed piece to steemit, the content creators. What are we, the US Congress? Screw over the ones that are producing in favor of those who manipulate the system.
And this does nothing for those who are gaming the system by spending more of their votes on their friend's posting a picture of their latest bowel movements. Boom $100.
Create a curation system that disincentives people voting for the same pool of people while incentivizing them to spread their votes out. Vote for more people, the higher the reward....
Just some quick observations.
This is what I was saying as well. Why take more away from good content authors.
It seems really counter productive.
People complain about spam and garbage posts getting upvoted. I agree with that. Of course, if there are not people writing quality content, all that the site is left with is spam and garbage posts.
I mean, honestly, I can post cat memes with the best of them. I am well schooled in google search and can type that in to find a number of sites with thousands of them. I could post them from now until John McAfee is either rich beyond belief or is eating his d**k on television. But what purpose does that serve this community or site?
I spend a fair bit of time posting what I feel is quality content. Even if some dont see it that way, it is content that takes a while to put together. Fortunately, I had a few whales hit my stuff up...few and far between, but a few. I get a few dollars off each post which is more than I got on other blogging sites.
That said, would I like more? Sure. But I can tell you I dont wan it to be lessened so that the curation pool can be fixed.
