blogging should not be the only form of income
Yes agree 100% on same page, Curating should be a form of income for more users.
More stress should be placed on different disciplines: teaching, outreach, parenting, running a business, programming, etc........... making films, you get the idea...
Those other avenues of income are not related to the platform. If some one wants to be a teacher or programmer this is not relevant to the discusion of optimizing the platform or payout of posts and curation. Unless they will be monetized by blogging or curating. Those are the only current mechanisms to reward income for any effort related to the platform.
We are left with two streams of income, posting and curating. 100% of users will have to derive any Steemit related income from those two sources.
There is only ONE discussion that matters and that is optimizing the use of those two rewards to facilitate growth of the platform.
I wrote a blog proposal about changing curation rewards but you can find it if you havent.
