If we were to raise the curation rewards to 50% it is hard to predict the outcome - it should diminish the incentives to write articles (hence the number of articles) and thus the overall activity of the blockchain. For investors and advertisers less activity means less value. On the positive, those who do keep writing will do so more because they have something to say than because of the money. At the margin though, I expect to see more people leaving the platform because the rewards will be even smaller than today.
But I admit these are speculative thoughts, it's hard to predict how the community will react. My main problem though is that it doesn't feel right. The effort is not the same in writing an article and in upvoting it. How do you justify rewarding the same two activities which require such vastly different effort ?
Hey,
I think 50%/50% are fair. Because to curate is a hart job. If you read a ton of article and Reward the best ones, its hart work.
Like 100 cooking recipes. A user want only to read the best but if you curate them, thats a ton of work.
In my opinion is curating more work then writing ( depens on article for sure).
The next point is, you need to spend Money ( buy Steem) to get higher votes. So why i should spend money as a Voter?
I would Favour 75% curator 25% Author ( or maybe a Slider).
Reason 1: Make Vote selling less profitable.
Reason 2: Because of the work to curate all this Stuff
Reason 3: Curator need to power up for huge votes, so there Trust the Steem Blockchain for longer Term.
Reason 4: The decision is more easy to upvote as a Investor, if there is no more profitable way.
I think Authors get more Rewards. Because Vote Sellers maybe think " hey i can reward the Content i really like and i dont lost some Steem ROI".
We should work on a System that is not so easy to game. Or Stop the Voting System and make a Subscription System out of it.
I think Authors should get a aditional Author Coin too, maybe a SMT.
