The liner/superliner reward curve discussion is important.
Right now one can "buy" steem at a discounted rate by using bit bots to pump their shitposts. Sure there are risk involved, people don't "always" make money bla bla bla. But the fact that it's possible is already discouraging investors from buying and investing in Steem.
How is it fair for them to acquire steem at market rate when they know some people are bottling up their shitposts with no consequences, earning 1.17 Steem with 1 Steem paid on average?
A bit bot business should not allow their customers to expect a profit from bot votes. "post visibility" should come at a price.
Otherwise its a continued trend of the dishonorable milking the reward pool with no actual value created in their content.
I fully support the view of @trafalgar / @kevinwong / @theycallmedan

50/50 brings in a huge amount more risk for buyers and sellers.
THis is something I haven't got to yet in writing but it is another factor people don't think about.
Interesting, I'd like to know in your opinion what risks are involved should the rewards changed to 50/50..
Or perhaps do you mean it's less guarantee for bib bot buyers because they won't always make a profit from bitting up their post?
