I was very much against HF21. I still think curation should be optional to be determined by the owner of the content and chosen on a sliding scale from 0%-100%.
However, HF21 seems to be a net positive regardless. If HF21 were to double the value of Steem... it doesn't matter if you're receiving half as much Steem. No one seems to think about the base value of the token and network.
It's rather strange that people seem to forget that part, even though they are talking about the price all the time....
