RE: Content creators, It's not about you!
I like this. I do think that content creation should be weighted a bit more heavily than curation, simply given the time and effort that's put into most of the content on here, but curators serve a crucial function here and a lot of the people I've tried to talk into getting on Steemit tell me the same thing: there's no way they're going to make any money on a post when they're competing against everyone. That's not really the point. The point is to create content, AND find and appreciate good content. Like you said, if no one bothers reading it but the people pumping it out, what's the point? It's like a bunch of people shouting in a closed room.
I shared your sentiment on authors getting a higher weighted share but then I also thought about how many people had to split the curator side. We still would be winning in my opinion.
I think a 60/40 scheme might be better than where it's at now, while still adding more weight on the creation side.
Of course, I'm just some guy who writes stuff, so I don't really have any scientific basis for that idea :D
