Steemit started off with 50/50 stake, and changed to 75/25. What was the reason for the original switch? Can we take those lessons learned and apply them to the current environment?
I think before we go back to what existed initially, and was subsequently changed, we need to understand all of the reasons why the payouts were changed to begin with and consider if that will happen again and we should be looking at a different lever to pull as opposed to adjusting the author/curation rewards.
I wasn't around at those days but remember that there were 30,000 dollar payouts also. The system was altogether out of balance.
