Speaking of:
HF21 with the EIP is coming I know, but is it too little too late?
Have you seen this post with some numbers of how the fork will/may effect accounts with various behaviors and sp @abh12345? I find it somewhat chilling and would love to know if you think it is anywhere close to accurate.

It's on the right track - chopping author and boosting curation but doesn't factor in:
Whether either of those happen is all speculation right now.
My personal opinion is that it will be much harder to earn, but over the past 3 years, the amount people (like me) that have earned from content that hasn't changed the world is incredible.
For Steem to thrive, it needs to be more than a blogging site where people can take money out just for posting a photo of their cat. We need businesses to invest, something I think has more chance of happening following the EIP.
Hmm... Of course I am staying and will try whatever gets thrown at us. I hope you are right. I just read a post by our favorite boy-bander who shall not be named that they are also thinking of changing to a 1 minute upvote time. I just wish they would simplify and do one thing at a time. I foresee chaos and no redfish at all. But the big guys don't want us here anyway, so Yay!
