2nd comment from me, Sir Jack LOL

"OK, this is reality, what do we do to change it?"

it is NOT REALITY that we have a 50/50 rewards system in place. The reality is WE HAVE A 75/25.

Do you see how they have everyone believing this is reality when in fact.... it is NOT. yet.

My post is about KEEPING that the reality of 75/25 - or COMING UP with a better solution than "Take from the poor, give to the rich, and hope that somehow in the end - everyone is good and kind to one another and we chase all the bad guys away."

And - I think it's fair f me to say that you WOULD give up or withdraw if there was a decision to make author rewards 0.... right?

So, if that's the case - it IS a matter of give up or withdraw at a CERTAIN POINT. and That point is different for everyone.

For me? It's 50/50

But I MIGHT agree with 70/30...

or even the 50/25/25 that I mentioned where 33% is taken from the authors and given DIRECTLY to the community to support the SPS

Right now - with the changes that we are being suggested in the FULL hard fork - author rewards are NOT going down only 33%. They are going down 33% in the rewards system. They are going down an ADDITIONAL AMOUNT bringing us to a 44% LOSS OF AUTHOR REWARDS

44% loss for authors.

Can you imagine any other system that could withstand that without a mass exodus?

Perhaps that's what they are TRYING to do?

Instead of firing the employee, the boss is turning up the heat and making working conditions so bad - that the employee just leaves of his own free will.

hm.

damn it, I was going to chill out and enjoy some tunes, then you had to get me all hyped up again.

I agree with you fully on everything, even I was talking about the reality of how our governance works and what our responsibilities as voters are.

& all I want to agree with is 0 steem payouts.

and here is a part of a comment from a few minutes ago on the topic:

"as for EIP, I can't grasp the fact that our priorities have shifted back to something that was done in 2017 with HF19, instead of putting all efforts into SMTs, especially after HF20 set the path for SMTs and an almost infinite economy for our Steem ecosystem.

So, to me, I am literally lost for words when it comes to what all is going on.

We seem to have strayed off the path that were on, our vision has been blurred by things that would be totally obsolete once the SMTs are necessary for any front end to operate.

So yeah, don't ask me mate, I'm just as confused, if not even more than most of us out there in this deep blue!

Cheers."

I don't get WTF HAPPENED!

Did we really get sidetracked that bad in all this that we literally got lost to the point of no return!
