I think there are a lot of people who are surprised because of the phenomenon that the compensation now stands out. I'll give you a brief explanation.
First, because of the squared compensation policy, writings (those that received rewards under $ 500) suffered losses. In other words, If anyone received only $ 5 ($ 1/500) of the $ 50 ($ 1/500). Now it's back at $ 50.
Next, the power of the boat has increased four times. Of course, the speed of the power of boating power is four times faster, but the influence of the pooling power has increased.
The combination of these two things seems to increase the voting power and compensation for writers. However, if you know the fact that the previous $ 500 or more of the writings that have taken one of the reward is a state. Author get the rewards of those people and give them to people who are less rewarded. This is why this hard fork is a fork for equality.
