Your comment about paying authors in SBD (or at least liquid STEEM given the new limits being added for SBD stability) and not trying to force them to be investors makes a lot of sense to me. Is there any reason to think, in general, that a writer wants to be an investor? That a writer makes a good curator? I think the answer to both is no. There is probably not a good justification.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If they want to invest - in order to curate or otherwise, this should be their voluntary choice. As it is now, they are forced to become "invested"/investors for 2 years with 50% of their pay/author reward earned in the Steem system.
I would be completely onboard with an author cut down if that change would happen for sure. You both have pretty much said what I personally as a writer am thinking. I don't really want to invest or curate, I enjoy the writing process, but I won't lie and say I do it for pure fun with no profit in mind.
I would be interested in what @dan and @ned would think of giving the authors pure SBD instead of the split. I imagine they want the split for steem stability and longevity forcibly though.
