RE: A closer look at the idea for increasing curation from KevinWong and Traf // my thoughts
It seems a bleak path, in many ways, either way.
The thing is, most people in this world are consumers rather than creators. If curation could be made profitable enough to entice more consumers in, then authors would benefit from that too with more support and interaction, as hopefully earnings would go up anyway, to counteract the lower cut they get. Unfortunately, I fear you're correct as don't see how having 50/50 could make things any more lucrative to newcomers without them investing.
Yeah, in a perfect world... hehe. Problem is that a consumer is someone with 0$ to their name as well as someone with 100k and unfortunately there are more of those with the 0$. Since i find the markets to be incredibly stupid i dont see this change attracting anyone really.
But lets say you convince a 100k investor to come to STEEM. He would still make more by selling his vote and doing nothing.
what we have now in general is....
bot delegators/vote sellers make most.
followed by creators and vote buyers
Last place curators
If proposal passes....
There will be no bot delegation but more vote selling so passive investors still earn the most
Curators and vote buyers take the second spot now
And now the non-vote buying creators are in last spot.
But i think there are other things that can be done.
