πππ€ aloha!
I get what u're saying and won't bother giving my what if, nit picky example of a posts.. how it can actually benefit the one posting it just by writing it..
:P u know, I guess I wasn't around (got sick for a bit) when the whole 50/50 thing went down, but I am not even mad at it.. meaning, even if it were some different breakdown in rewards, I would still do hive just as much. In fact, I am one of the strange hivers who comment 10-20 times more that I post and so an even more heavy weighting on curation would be awesome IMO. :)
ps. totally agree and like your section about honeymoon period of new hivers..
