I agree completely. This is not about the Steem community but about Steemit. This has nothing to do with making the community stronger and better.
The fact that it takes 16 STU before the new reward curve kicks in means that it will screw over the smaller accounts. Plus, the reduction in payout to authors means that few of them are going to get anything. This is only enhancing the wealthy on Steem.
In spite of the years of talking, they still think that changing an algorithm will alter human behavior. This is something that Dan doesnt grasp either.
I hate the proposal. I've been here for 3 years and have worked hard to build and to help. Not sure I'll stick around.
Give ppl the tools to empower themselves and they will do so. You only have to look at Steem and what's been build on top of in the last 2 years to see that it works. It happens on all kinds of levels, from the small minnow creating content and earning another 0,5 STEEM to big developers making Steem Engine. I don't understand why this behavior needs to be changed.
