Some time ago I read an article explain why increasing curtain would be beneficial to the content producers too, by encouraging curation and investment. So that part didn't worry me. What worried me was the free downvotes after seeing how some abused them. We still get the abuse, but mostly they're been put to work in tandem with encouraging curaton first by targeting the bid bot users, which has pushed the bid bots into a position of curating. Now the farming and circle jerking is becoming more apparent, so they're the next to be targeted.

I dont think the code changes alone could have made the difference, it's the attitude of the people which has come with it which is making the biggest difference.
