Why reduce power down period to 4 weeks? Make it 7 days. Power down all at once. That will free the money flow and give freedom over my funds. Ofc there will be be downside pressure on price action at certain times initially. I do not care about staking now and locking my money for so long. It's a big risk and it has opportunity cost, when i can simply buy some trending coin short term. Curation rewards can not even match it by far and makes managing my finances very noneffective.
Reduce inflation. It will have direct price action upwards. For those that have already invested so many time and effort that will be the bonus. And the earnings would still remain the same due to a higher coin value.
Do a neat and nice search that will help people to find content they need. I do not know how many times i have addressed the issue. I should come here for the content and information (like any normal content website does that for ages) not to upvote a few people follow and befriended during my time on Hive (Steem previously).
4.Last but not least. Let the posts be upvoted in perpetuity where rewards on that post are being paid weekly with a limitation that one Account vote per post. Yes, ppl can power down, transfer Hive to another account and reupvote, but creating a new shitpost is far less hassle than doing this. This will reduce number of shitposts and will reward people that are putting in time in creation of meaningful, educational or entertaining content that has unlimited shelf life. Couple that with a decent search to find content and you will drawing in content consumers and content creators. For now it's not worth spending too much time in creating a really quality post. You may hate me saying this but only a few people will spend time from ideological incentive.
