I don't disagree but I feel like we've moved away from using the rewarding as the lure for newcomers, and one would hope that once they are here they learn things and realize that author rewards aren't guaranteed but curation rewards are a bit more so along with HP interest being absolute.
Many still don't know the difference between earning stake and compare this as adrevenue I guess as well, hence many issues occur some times when it comes to downvotes.
