No, I don't mean enough to make a change. I mean is that enough to encourage people to buy steem and power it up? I think for that to really happen you need to go to like an 80/20 curation split, 50/50 doesn't seem 'enough', don't you think?

Some are spinning this as SP holders are going to be making more now, but in reality most have been collecting close to 100% of the value of their 10 votes each day via self voting and selling votes, so them collecting 50%ish now is actually going to be a big drop for them...

How is that going to encourage people to buy more steem?

If people weren't buying more steem when they could collect 100% of their 10 votes each day, I am not sure how this is going to help in that regard.

Possibly. That exact question has been debated by stakeholders, witnesses and devs. We're trying 50/50 + 25% downvotes + a curve for now, where the latter two are seen as reducing the necessary curation share somewhat. Maybe enough, maybe not. If that doesn't work then we'll need to iterate in some manner.

you want to encourage better content and hold steem longer make the payouts after a month!

Curation should be 10% dividend.

Downvotes most be attached to a TOS violation.

a TOS VIOLATION LIST PUBLISHED AND REFERENCED ON EVERY PAGE

Write real curation system which makes people classify articles (not just upvote them)

Then have a catalog and search system based on the curation

So that we have a structured interconnected environment environment which allows bookmarking, feeds, nesgroups, plug-ins and dynamic content.

Where authors/creators useful and interesting content is found and promoted not by straight self voting but by the fact that they are on correlation with similar content people are exploring......

but of course instead you guys keep acting like the band playing on the deck of the titanic as it's sinking....

HEY WAKEUP THERE'S AN ICEBERG THERE AND YOUR HEADING TOWARDS IT!!!!!

No, you and your shitty zero effort memes and circle jerk crew are heading to the iceberg. Its greedy shitposters like yourself that denigrate this platform. You're only pissed because your profitable botting days are numbered.
Bye bye, wrap up warm.
