Hopefully the ratio will change over time in a positive way, but what we really need is a stronger middle class of users that can actually do enough without having to rely on whale votes...
When looking at stats like this, it would also be good to asses how much of the new users are producing quality. Whilst the ratio needs to be improved, there still needs to be an element of earning your votes. Getting ones just because you're new, is counterproductive.
Having a whale vote for a new user's post should mean that it is not a crappy post (most of the time, thogh there are also exceptions) and I have seen a lot of people with good posts that don't get much votes, so it is also not like there isn't enough good content from new users...
When I first read about the curation rewards, I set myself a creed that I would reward posts based on what I liked, when I read them. It was easy to make that choice as a new user with no voting power, and so no real reward potential. But it has helped keep me from chasing minuscule rewards. I do feel free to comment all over, across a wide variety of subjects.
