So now we are going to see the smaller accounts' payout affected not only by a reduced reward pool (which is fine, we should fund worker proposals in some manner because they can provide a great deal of value) but we are also taking the measly amount they get and cutting it down significantly.
How are they suppose to make it up? By curating themselves? What is the curation when a vote is worth .002?
So what is the goal here? Is it for smaller accounts to make even less money while larger ones (including bid bots) take home bigger chunks?
Surely we are not going to lean on that manual curation idea. Does anyone think the larger accounts are going to upvote a couple hundred minnows and planktons a week?
Also by your standards i am probably a small acc, i am here for 18 months and never powered down and every steem that i got out (when i was new to see how it works) is back in the acc, also half of my steem is invested. Now with the new curve how much will my vote be worth if i go and look for new users that have few to non votes? will i be able to even jump over the dust vote with 100%? will i do that or vote for people that already have a following and i know will get some votes?
