I was thinking the same thing as @bluemoon. Maybe a softer ratio like 60/40 could work. I think that in the beginning of POB we were talking about how this tribe could be different from the other in terms of authenticity and originality, and those come from the authors. So it seem right to me that the author could get a little more than the curator.
A lot of people are talking about the curators not feeling like curate. If this really happen, if just because they are getting slightly less than before (in the 60/40 ratio, not the 75/25), please stop curating. Because it would only show that they are curating for rewards, not for content. And it already go against what POB should be.
Yes yes money is important, I think so too. But it should be the consequence of a good job, not the drive of the mind.
Now about liquidity in the market: As some said before (sorry, not going to read all comments again to find who) I agree that it's not good to have a lot in there, but at the same time, even with 50/50 there are already people selling all they got and not staking 0,0001 POB. I don't think that people who are selling would sell more if they get more reward, so at least the people who are staking can get a little more too.
This is a really mindboger and I can't say for sure what is best. But I'm glad is coming up right now.
Thanks for bringing this up mate!
I personally like the 50/50 split but would be open to a small change like 55/45 it will give authors a little more rewards while still awarding curators a decent amount. 75/25 is definitely way to drastic imo.
"nice post" @calumam ... seriously valid points and observations made but if there ever was a change I'd go for the 60/40 ratio on this one and will spare you my mental droppings as to why :) I could be happy with either ratio though tbh. O.o
The place is new and flat out is a bit of a diff vibe (one which I like and am jaded). In the rather short time I've been in POB am seeing shifts take place a little bit. It would be nice to go to "Hot" and see the POB frontend used vs. others primarily but it's up to the people to mold it like they want it I suppose. I'm still quite curious why all the new taxes and stuff being put out there are not being questioned. We already pay an additional amount to the Community so we're not even getting that 50 percent then if the taxes talked about on Hive affect communities and the whole additional fees to power up or down. I TAKE THE DEAFENING SILENCE AS A HUUUUUUGE RED FLAT OP/ED
