You see @shadowspub that is the problem, the main idea behind 50/50 curation rewards was that everyone would now be eager to curate because now the reward is 50%, and yet what we have are curation projects like @smartsteem so a few people can feel that things are looking up. Now, how many people get a SmartSteem vote? Mighty few, the rest of us are getting hit really hard. @Smartsteem is just there so you can point to it and say"Things are looking up', they aren't for most of us, yet the people who backed the hardfork just don't want to accept this. And I am not even getting into the reward curve.
