Wow...thanks for your response.
Any of the solutions proposed and intended to be implemented must be done with caution. A little at a time to see how it will turn because every change now is an experiment. It can turn out well or go the other way round.
I've been thinking of what you said about increasing the curating reward. At first, I thought it was not a good idea because they curators get to take more. But thinking about it again, that may be the best solution. Who wouldn't want more money? Curating becomes more attractive, investors becomes more attracted.
This too should be done a step at a time. And also, it should be done in a way that the posts with bigger payout attract lesser curating rewards.
stay blessed
