Thank you so much for your answer, @timcliff. I really appreciate you giving those details. I asked a few people about this last night and those who answered were similar to you - wanting to see steem succeed. Like you, most hope and expect behaviors will change and benefit content creators in ways the current numbers do not reflect.

Based on this, I am going to go back to what I do here and keep working to improve. When the fork gets here, I will try my best to be a part of the new paradigm.

Before I saw that post I was already working to improve my (small) curation rewards and that has been going well. You answer helps me stay on track, and I am so glad you were one of the people I contacted.

Take care,

Sharon @fitinfun
