To be honest I still can't see why changing the curve was a good idea. It seems that more Steem will go to the top earners and the sub $20 posts will get less. How are the smaller users to build their accounts except by voting for the established ones knowing that they will have a circle of bigger votes coming in, pushing them over the $20 mark. I'm pretty sure this will just just make the big guys even bigger. This is the only thing that concerns me but time will will show how it plays out. All other changes I can see the logic and i am excited that downvotes will become way to balance things.
