RE: Hard Fork 21: A Case For the 50/50 Curation Reward Model
Dear @ketcom
I must admit that your comment put a huge smile on my face. Especially when you called me "the big boss man" hahaha :) Love it!
Thanks for sharing your own 2 cents with us on this particular subject.
I for one have read so many post for and against the HF21 and what I can say is that so many things and outcome are based on the assumption that people will behave this way or that way.
our assumption should always be that people will look for ways to abuse each system, to gain short term benefits.
Unfortunatelly it's not the case now. HF21 is showing some vision. Vision that could be perfect but this vision completely seem to ignore the fact, that it's opening enormous doors for financial abuses.
A lot of content creators earn their livelihood on Steem, what if they leave Steem because they view this as a way of reducing their earnings from 75% to 50%
the worst of all is the fact, that those who actually bring value to Steemit platform by commenting and encouraging authors - they are basically abandoned.
I'm replying to huge amount of comments daily and as an author of those comments I get hardly anything. And all those rewards it will be reduced even more.
I've tried hard to understand the point of HF21, I've really tried and that is why I keep reading post for and against it.
We're on the same page. I've also read some people saying how HF21 will stop bidbot and self-upvote abuse. How it will encourage quality curating. But I see all of it as a "wishes" and at the same time growing threats seem to be very real.
Yours
Piotr
