I'm glad to see more and more posts about this topic, @kevinwong. Sometimes it feels like no one is listening, simply because no one appears to be talking! It's so important that users from brand new minnows all the way up to long term investors provide their feedback and their experiences to be considered in however we move forward. Seeing big accounts start talking about the culture and the necessary behavioral shifts is awesome, because we're starting to see followers who had previously not weighed in joining the conversation. Posts like this one are valuable, because it's opening up debate and discussion to audiences who may not have participated before, and that's a good thing for a solution that is well rounded for everyone involved in this blockchain.

There has absolutely been a solution suggested that has included modest super linear rewards, 50% curation, and a separate downvote pool. There have also been counterpoints with ideas like an adjustable curation rewards rate that begins at a 50% default, but can be adjusted by the author. I think, overall, that almost everyone is waking up to the fact that some changes are necessary. We have to keep these conversations lively and representative, because content producers, curators, developers, and investors all have valid viewpoints that are interconnected in how we approach addressing the issues we have now.

This is part technological, and part societal. Any code changes made need to drive the behavior we want to see on the platform, and the behavior that we value on the platform needs to be examined to inform our decisions on the technological development.
