I personally agree with your standpoint, and want to add;
There are so many changes on the the rules as i figured out that the most significant changes are about contributors. Due to my understanding from utopian page, most of contributions are made under the ''translation'' title. Which means creating value via utopian.io is mostly related to contributions on translation. Here is only one chart on Dec and there are many more.
Pie Chart

No need to expant the example with chart...

As a contributor in translation section, i don't produce a content like a production machine. i do give a sufficient time around 120-150 mins, translate over thn 500 words and doing my best for a quality content...

Now we will face with fourfold-force for same amount of value.

Not everyone have time to double for a work. In my opinion if the aim is to increase the quality of contents, trying to take a longer time for a half price sounds demoralizing.

And it could be discouraging for many others.

Any way, with the name of Utopia, the project itself has a tremendous approuch to the Value Sharing.
But if there is a change about 200% on structure of a work/value sharing , it could be brutal for some quality content producer.
