Gotta Embrace The #NEWSTEEM New Behavioral Steeming

Source

I noticed that my curation rewards had quite improved and it is to expect because of the 50% of the author-curators sharing system where an author will only earn 40% of the shown reward under their posts, it is because 10% of it will go to the funding of proposals that "hopefully" benefit the steem ecosystem.

Voting behavior changed

Yes I am now more inclined to vote especially now that the said changes are in effect which will make every medium to big stake holders extra and the witnesses and developers wants it to be that way which also forces everyone to stake and or buy steem so that they will get better rewards when they curate.

It is also interesting that the 5-minute penalty window is in effect as well so now we do not have to wait any longer to get the best curation out of a potential "good earner" type of post.

Also I think there will be just a minimal use of autovoters now since curation is very limited unless you want to deplete all your voting power because we can just vote ten 100% weight or twenty at 50% weight per day but it is more for big stake holders and we can just do it manually under the "new post" tab to look and wait for those that will give us good curation earnings and that can be done for a few minutes only for some users given the factors as stated.

Now my only hope is that for steem to rise in value so that it could compensate for the lost earnings otherwise it is still hard to earn if you won't change in this dynamic ecosystem which we all hope to get better for everyone else as it was vetted by @theycallmedan, @exyle, and others.
