I am against the lowering of curation rewards by 75%. We should inventivise powering up, not disencentivise it. Why would you ever power up if you are not a well earning author?
I don't see curation as a big problem that needs to be adressed asap. Many more important changes are in the pipeline. Curators (bot or not) earn between 5-20% APR.
The difference is marginal unless you have >500k HIVEPOWER.
We need sinks, we need mroe incentives to power-up, we need HMTs, we need advertising, we need a rework of the reputation system... and so on.
Cutration? Yeah let's think about that in 2 years again after the important changes. There must be a better way.

I agree that curation is not a high priority. I've only bothered to suggest this idea because it's a change that can literally be made in a day. Anyways, based on responses, I get the impression no one cares about auto-voting, which was the original impetus for the suggestion. I'm perfectly fine to keep the status quo if no one else is bothered.
I don't like auto-voting either! This problem is serious and it should be solved and brought up for discussion! Auto-voting harms platform. This goes against the original idea! Auto-voting should definitely be canceled. Perhaps even a lot of blood. We must make sure that the reward does not come from the delegated force!
We don't mind auto-voting, you won't be rid of it this way either.
Why would a well earning Author Power Up? The Authors reward is not based at all on how much Hive Power they hold.
it would be nice to see two more Hard Forks that did not involve changing/chasing the reward pool/vote system.
If your posts regularly earn 10 HIVE rewards by upvoting from others, and you have powered up 500k HIVE, you can more than double your 10 HIVE rewards, to 24 HIVE rewards each, pushing it over the edge regarding the curation curve.
That's why you power up as an already successful author. Because you can greatly improve your author rewards with self upvoting.
I have not powered down, but I can see the self vote as a big reward boost. Some do it some do't, it is still an option. With no curation rewards, of what value is the vote other than for self voting.
People don't need to vote on a post to read and enjoy it. I myself vote on post because I like it and would like to see more of that type content. I also vote on people because they have content I have enjoyed in the past and my mood taste have changed for a bit, but I know I will be back into that subject again.
A change to the vote system may be needed, I don't know. One solution via code may be an expansion of the dust level vote system. So it by levels, example:
Any vote from an account of less than 500 HP at less than 75% vote power is auto dust, so those accounts would need to vote with a percentage of at least 76$ giving them about 23 votes a day.
Any vote from an account between 500-2500 would use 50% as the dust cut-off
Any vote from an account between 2500-5000 would use 25%
Any vote from account 5000-50000 15%
Any vote from account 50,000-500,000 8%, and any account over 500,000 5%.
Those were just arbitrary percentages and levels. I am sure something resembling fair could be worked out, with out doing away with the curation rewards.
