I am hoping that the value your posts gain from more curation will more than compensate you for the loss from the higher curation rewards.

I am hoping that the value your posts gain from more curation will more than compensate you for the loss from the higher curation rewards.
my curation rewards, and I often win an award for curation, are projected at .307 sp or 36 cents, so if it doubled I would get another 36 cents
if curation awards went from 25 to 50% then I would lose 2.135 sp
so I would lose about 6 times as much under that scenario.
If the pending payout of you post increases by 50% you will be better off. I believe this is quite possible as more curation will take place if the curation rewards are higher.
but even if doubled curation awards are basically meaningless unless you are operating a bot or something. I don't think people would be very motivated by another 36 cents.
Another 36 cents wouldn't motivate many but that's not the audience this approach is targeting. I'm thinking of the whales that are currently earning only 200+ Steem a week from curation. With 50% curation rewards they could be earning 400+ Steem a week; an additional 200+ Steem. This should encourage some of them to undelegate from bots and actively engage in curating content.
have any whales weighed in on the idea?
I had some initial support from a few large accounts but they have gone quiet recently.
seems like this whole place is going quiet with the $1 STEEM
