I think the whole Economic Improvement Proposal should be put on hold, not just 50/50.
The SPS is good, but the idea of free downvote pools is ripe to be abused by the folks with enough power that they can ignore the social consequences of their downvotes. And the new curve is going to hurt little accounts even more than 50/50 will, which will only encourage MORE bidbots, not less. Much like @dustsweeper is necessary for a lot of folks now so they don't lose all the pennies they get on comments, larger sums will go to bidbots so people can get return on the small votes. This doesn't seem like the solution to the problem. I'm opposed to all of it, and at the very least, think we need to take these hardforks seriously and get a voice for the average user into the conversation before we go through with more than SPS.

voice for the average user would be so nice.
but our representatives are supposed to be our voice.
if they are not - then as @jackmiller suggested - we should choose those who represent our voice.
It may not have any sway at all - since - again - as @jackmiller suggested whale votes really hold the power over who gets moved to the top 20 witnesses.
but we have votes - and we are supposed to use them accordingly.
We all have the responsibility to vote in a way that expresses our views. I - for one - will be updating my votes as this all plays out.
Will it matter?
It matters to me.
Yep. Examining all my options now. About to post.
