I don't understand where you're going with this

we should just let people do what they want in terms of curation? Cause if that's what the majority here start to think i'm getting the fuck out of this place

Comment was not meant in terms of curation. In terms of creative output: a lot - people are writing books, some are producing their life's body of work illustration, art, painting. 100s of people are pouring their hearts in everyday, hive is a place they find friends and comfort.

and curation is meant to reward them without asking for payment/selfish reasons in exchange

Do you remember when the ratio was different for curators / authors? Or am I imagining that? Could be tweaked again in the future? Would be a hard fork, though.

To favor authors again? Wasn't a big reason that was changed cause people would create alts to self-vote with, though?

It is a distribution problem - and alt-account self-votes still happen by proxy, I think we both are smart enough to know that - through networks of individuals - and a relationship graph will often show that - where acct 1 spends the bulk of its vp on acct 2, and its a mirror!

so self-votes still happen a lot as it is, so we should increase it?

or increase curation split vs author rewards?
