Fair points!
I'm really hoping that this is a signal for chance with regards to how people a) view their liquid rewards - ie. Power up more of them, and b) choose how to use their SP.
Yeah the bots are currently paying well, but spreading some around to projects like @steemhunt to take advantage of airdropped tokens, will hopefully see accounts choosing this option too.
And yeah, screw the interface here, if you don't like it, use another. What was mentioned in the @steemitblog yesterday is more important and has potentially, far more potential to increase the value of our STEEMs.
Cheers!
