Honestly, as a content creator and at around 3 posts a week, I can hope to make much more with author reward than curating with the present system, more even than if my curation rewards doubled so yeah, I am mad at HF21.
If self upvoting is such a problem why not take it away?
The kind of price action generated from wealth gained in this 50/50 system is looking ugly to me. Those whale have temporary skin in the game and when they are done siphoning value off the social fabric of this place, they will leave but an empty carcass behind.
Authors are the ones who have real skin in the game because our blogs have sentimental value. People sticking to Steemit out of principle as opposed to greed is why we are still around after the bear market.
Dear @edouard
I'm glad to see that you accepted my invitation and you enjoyed this publication.
I only just realized that I never thanked you for your comment. Appreciate it.
Such a simple solution, isn't it? :)
Very true. I see this system as "milking the cow" as long as it's alive.
Yours
Piotr
Cheers!
