There have been pros and cons to individuals, but I think the ecosystem as a whole has been energized and looks and feels healthier. I think my earnings are up a little considering the 50/50 split, but not a massive amount. Hopefully the voters are getting decent CR on it and will keep looking for content. I like that there are curation initiatives returning to the mix too.
I agree which is why lately I am looking at the side of value being created to hep the value of my stake although it gets harder to build. Then again, that may be the trick to all this; making is tough to get Steem for free may put the value front and center over time! Engagement is down (for me) but not my beliefs!
