I'm loving Yaba's suggestion and honestly it's like an epiphany went off in my mind. That makes complete sense, the method right now never made sense to me.

As a creator my commitment has been publishing to the blockchain and curating... I don't understand why half the rewards I earn need to be locked away for 13 weeks, what if I don't want to have that much voting weight but still stay committed to creating content. Who cares if I immediately transfer my earnings to @blocktrades and exchange it for ETH.. It went through the 7 day payment period, I earned it at this point, it should be up to me what I want to do with it.

If I want more voting power, that is a separate commitment and I agree should have some kind of consequence/compromise.

When I first learned and started following Yaba for awhile I thought they were involved with STEEM because a lot of what they have done for STEEM or suggested for STEEM I completely agree with as it's been so genius.

~My complaint is not literal though, I have already scammed the 13 week system by taking control of my rewards by using @likwid beneficiary, sometimes I set 100% to @likwid which means my reward is paid out in 100% liquid STEEM!

So the 13 week rule along with 50/50 payout no longer even stands for security since there is now a loophole to avoid it.
