It does nothing but incentify more people to delegate to bots.

You can't fix human laziness except with some strong stringent rules.

Heck, ill gladly delegate all my stakes to a bot if I see my rewards slashed by 33%, i currently get less than $2 for my posts except oracle-d posts.

I get peanuts from curation.

Netcoins contest showed that we have less than 10k people active on steemit, fix that, not this idea of giving more curation reward to whales and bidbots.

This is once again a case of steemit inc and witnesses totally in touch with the low users of this platform and why I think other platforms are watching and waiting to take over.

If a whale can get more rewards from his delegation to a bot, he will do so, rather that. Getting fewer rewards from self-votes.

The one thing yall need to do is have a roundtable discussion with the whales once in s while and speak on the growth of the platform, how to move forward and delegating their stakes.
