Interesting view on the subject, I like your thoughts on the matter. I mostly focus on meeting my own standards with regards to weather or not I feel good about what I've contributed. If that happens, I don't really care what the rewards turn out to be or if I get any at all. I do get pleasantly surprised from time to time and that is nice but I never count on it. Don't think that much will change with HF19 although it would be nice to see newcomers vote's actually change the value of a fresh post, at least for their first 10 votes. If that happens at all... Curious to see how stingy people get with their upvotes after this. :)

At this time, I'm just going to wait and see how it plays out. I feel hopeful it will help new members feel like they have more influence than dust motes. That would definitely be a plus.
From a curation standpoint, I like the idea that I can (theoretically) give 4x more voting power to a piece of truly outstanding content. Because I do read and vote manually quite a bit, I will probably be voting a lot of more "average" content at 25%, which is technically about the same weight as right now.
