I love this line

This recent hardfork to linearize reward has attempted to flatten the distribution of reward, such that the highly popular have less reward, and the "middle class" of Steemit has the new opportunity to see a drastic improvement in their influence.

The issue we new members are facing is worrysome...I do check blogs of some members with little followers and they have very nice posts....educative and wonderful stories to share...funny enough you see 0.02 or even less as reward...I become sad because such people may be discouraged to share good contents/engagements as no reward as all are here for both...content value and reward.
I also see many who just share a low quality video/image with no write up or very low quality contents and you see hundreds of dollars reward dropping. Some do not even post but their unintelligent comment gains rewards more than the content owners!
I also witness the big guys...they do not even post good contents but resteem only and you see them making money...contrary to my expectations, reward rules more than engagements and the big earners are not helping us show us the way to cherish contents...
I belief with you and others with like minds...this can be remedied...and I love your resolve as stated under....

Moving forward with my own votes and the new linear reward, I'm going to completely scrap any focus on maximizing curation reward, and instead focus on rewarding under-valued, quality content, and spreading smaller rewards to more deserving users, since it is now feasible to do so! I am going to have most of my votes picked by manual curators, and follow their choices with a small power.

I wish this your resolve will become the resolve of most other big guys...the big whales and dolphins....I wish people will value and reward contents/ engagements rather than reward self and friends....I wish new members will come and see rich contents rewarded rather than low quality contents rewarded or even comments gathering rewards more than contents owners! Like Martin Luther King Jr. I have a dream that someday soon...the main slogan I see in stemians as All for one...One for all is put into practice rather than just slogans...
I can't stop loving you guys...keep up the good work...
Pls follow...check out my few posts as a new member and ensure engagements is encauraged than rewards...
