If collective is just interested in making money from Steemit then it is a problem.
Well that's the whole point of steemit, isn't is?
Make money for content!
So better distribution will be good for the whole community. This hardfork is just a small step towards it.
Edit, make money for good content. I saw many new user have many good content but they can not make good price. New users growing really slowly and that's bad for Steemit in the long run.
