Yes I just read the article but I've read a few that show the numbers and it all kinda paints the same picture.
Author rewards are getting wrecked, curators are getting doubled.
I can't say I disagree with your closing sentence to bengy either. We probably joined this platform a little too late as our accounts aren't worth too much hey.

I joined early but grew mostly by sweat equity. So it took time.
I just recently became a dolphin and was super proud of the accomplishment.
Eh. Comme ci, comme ca.
I'm sure this won't be the last mistake that's made in a hard fork. I'm surprised we crawled past HF20, but we did. Barely.

What is sweat equity? Not come across that term before.
Congratulations on the dolphin status, it's something I may get to if I stick around and don't get as hard fucked by the hard fork as I'm being initially lead to believe.
And the fact we barely made it past HF20 should sound alarm signals about these proposals for HF21 but I don't know what it will take for these "decision makers" to do the things I mentioned in my first comment seeing as that's the feedback of many authors I've spoken to.

Oh sweat equity means the time you invested vs money you've invested
I think i probably have invested about $600 towards my dolphin status?
The rest was all through post payouts!!!!
I sure hope you're right too. It makes.me sad that people who have just come in the last year never got to see how AMAZING this place was at one time
They've just been hit harder and harder since HF20.
Too bad ...cuz I can tell you...before that!? There was nonsense, for sure!!! There ALWAYS will be drama lol. You can never get rid of people who like to ruin it for everyone...but at least you could just circle around your tribe and ignore the riff raff, and have a blast!
It's not the same anymore... Greed has a way of permeating everything.

You're right about greed and you do really have to turn a blind eye to some shenanigans but it's made increasingly difficult with each change that occurs. Just stick with communities you have joined and take it from there.
Hf21 is confirmed to already be happening now so it looks like the preparations need to start happening for people like us. Firstly, pull back any delegations you have to keep your account SP as much as possible so you can get more curation rewards.
Second, get as many posts out now before HF21 so you maximise author payouts.
I haven't invested any money into steem, just transferred some earnings from other sites so I guess my sweat equity is 100% lol.
