This may not be entirely on topic, but...

The dumbest thing about the proposed comment rewards pool is that it eliminates the incentive for comment voting. Currently, comments reward the full 25% of curation rewards to voters, while blog posts are only distributing about 12% of the pool to curators.

If we allow Steemit Inc. to continue making poor decisions that disincentivize the very behaviors that they want more of, then we will continue to see greater distortions in the platform's economics.

I'm sorry, but I upvoted this post because I wanted to reward you as much as I could with my trail. Unfortunately, some of my followers opt out of comment voting. Also - your reverse psychology is impeccable!
