For those who say authors don't earn enough for their content, I would encourage them to try using YouTube or building out their own independent blog and monetizing it or using medium and seeing how far they get. I don't get why authors come here demanding rewards and complain they not earning enough if steem is an income source for you you need to be looking at the bigger picture why you relying on this site to pay you then add more income streams. Any rational person knows that if one source doesn't make enough, get another.
I think 50/50 is fair and I think that it provides more validation that you should HODL if you want to be a part of this community. Unfortunatley the bigger accounts do have the most say but who are the ones buying up all the cheap steem authors flood into the market as they cash out and then want to complain?
Unfortunately, or fortunately? Shouldn't the people that are committed to building within the community, and to growing their stake have the most say?
This is already the status quo everywhere. In developing countries it's 'corruption' and in developed countries it's 'lobbying' and 'special interest groups'. At least on Steem we are honest about and it codified it as 'stake-weighted consensus'. If the people with the most to lose are the one's making the important decisions (including the decision of which content deserves rewards) that makes the blockchain the least likely to fail.
Put another way... if Steem made critical decisions by popular vote instead of stake-weighted consensus, it most likely would have already failed.
Can you use #palnet tag in your post? I love to curate your posts with PAL. I believe @palnet community will like your contents too.
Thanks for the reminder! I have been using #palnet tags (and curating there) in most cases. This time I forgot.
I don't think that adding the tag will make the votes before it was added count on palnet, but I have added the tag now.
