If this is toi change, it will take a little while for habits to adjust and will largely be dependent on how much the DVs can remove from or upset the bidbot business. With enough variability, they will lose some of their largest users and, curation returns at the same time. No promises, as it is up to the community.

I was only joking. I expected these changes to take shape over time, not right away. I think I wrote somewhere how we'd be taking a hit initially and that was long ago when I was talking about this stuff. I've always said they can hardfork the platform but they can't hardfork our brains. I've always said it's not up to Steemit, or whales. It's everyone. And even with the tribes, I'm noticing some community members gladly accepting upvotes, but doing very little to give themselves enough stake to have an upvote to give as well. In time, they will again be complaining about difficulties earning and what not, after having a perfect opportunity to set themselves up for success down the road, but deciding against it in favor of instant gratification. I've said many seem to act in ways that slowly chip away at their own venue until there's no bricks left. When there are problems, others get blamed. It hasn't been easy creating a culture that can withstand the test of time. I've been watching for three years. People want what others have, but refuse to go get it. I hope more folks can begin to see how important holding and curating really is, and it's up to everyone, not just the few at the top.
