Hello @ketcom!
Many of us have known steem only because we earned money by publishing articles. Entering the world steem few of us have noticed that it is something much bigger and more important. See Palcoin that many users despise and believe that they will not benefit the community. personally I think it's a fantastic 50/50 reward, because by doing so we would all be encouraged to comment, to take care of all the posts in an ever better way. We'll see, in the meantime I also accumulate the PAlcoins!
A greeting!
Claudio
