All of these arguments have been made for a year. At some point those of us who: a) objected to a lot of these poorly-thought-out and overly-reactive changes from the start, and b) have repeatedly argued for reverting them, just give up and move on to spending our time where we can actually make difference (ie. other projects).
BTW, the current system is not 75:25 but more like 88:12 given the effect of the reverse auction. Returning to a true 50:50 system that meaningfully recognizes the essential and valuable role of curators would increase curation rewards by about 4x. That's a dramatic difference and would make curation a lot more worthwhile even for people without huge accounts.
Nice to hear from you mate!
Yes I know you have been arguing to fix some of these things since last year but nobody seems to listen.
Exactly and that is really important for the system to function correctly. The current imbalance (writing vs curation) means it is just not worth it for most people. So we have more and more people writing and fewer and fewer curating.
I don't see what the barrier is to at least trialling it.
Nice to hear from you too. Hope you are doing well.
Yes just very busy - I suspect you are the same!
