Very well expressed and presented post my esteemed @timcliff.
Along this article you've been highly eloquent, balanced and assertive in your appreciations all over the content. And I reckon that the humble spices with which you've seasoned all your words, viewpoints and rationality behind your written dissertation here will help big time the steemian's willingness to accept these changes in a more positive way. :)
As an author, I've always been against any change, procedure, algorithm, formula and decision that is or will be detrimental to the already stunted rewards of the content authors. And so I've always expressed it multiple times throughout this place.
Therefore, the current 50/50 rule in exercise and the idea to take financial resources from the collective rewards pool to fund the SPS project, for me, it still taste a bit bitter. But yeah, I'm indeed an experimental beast. Since most of my life has gone by performing experiments everywhere.
The outcome of HF21 is impossible to predict.
Yep, in fact, no one could predict the possible outcomes. Given that everyone is looking the future through their very own version of crystal ball. And to top it off, all of us are looking 'the situation' thru our own crystal ball from many, diverse and multiple angles & perspectives that only respond to our own interests.
So, let's give time to the time. That without a doubt, there will be newer times in the near future to celebrate or to complain once again. };)
Cheers!!
