Great post. I have personally been tired of people nostalgizing how things had been good back then. I even saw someone complain how with linear reward curve he was making still satisfactory amount of money but yet still blamed that to be the reason why he got tired of blogging.

Messing with the curve is like grand socialist idea to just give poor people more money and everything is fixed without any regards to actual economical facts or considerations. Five cent blog-post is a five cent blog-post, and messing with the reward curve will just cause more "real" value inflation when people gain more than they earn.
