Hi Exyle
I think your post is very logical. The old Steemians, who are worried about the new Steemians are looking at this situation from their point of view, not the point of view of those new ones with no history on the platform. This point is very important. I think many of the mistakes and misunderstandings I see involve not being able to see something from the other person’s perspective.

As for your comment about curation being the new bread and butter, I think you are right. I have been involved with Tribes on Steem Engine for two months and because 50/50 is what we have had from the beginning, it is “normal”, (See first paragraph above)

So powering up, holding onto as much Token as you can and curating is the main method of earning on Steem-Engine.

Lastly, I joined this platform in April 2018 and “Change” is really the only “Constant” here on the Steem blockchain, so for me To survive and grow I must change and adapt.

To me, here as in life, it’s not always helpful to label things as good or bad, “they just are”, so I adapt to survive, thrive and succeed.
