I look forward to the first reports about the outcome. They should be interesting. If effective immediately, the first seven days should be a great benchmark and then to see how it evolves every month.
I think low inflation is good. Better to have it early rather than grow some big whales because of high initial inflation. I also still believe in "complexity" as a factor. Changes like this, combined with low inflation, can mid- to longterm only be beneficial on token value. Especially because STEM is a very passionate niche and one with monetization potential beyond "engagement" and pageviews, where people don't always understand the scale both those require to make an actual dent in token value.
