KE ratio doesn’t punish creativity, but it filters out the short-term extractors or those milking the Hive blockchain
This is a good parameter to check who has a short-term or long-term mindset with Hive. It's good to support those who build here for the long term, and extractors should not receive much reward.
I totally agree and I think that KE ratio is creating an ethic conduit on the Hive blockchain in order to earn rewards also based on your skin in the game and belief in this blockchain.
Not that when there is a great article the community will not upvote it seriously, but it can filter out noise for those simply hunting the rewards.
