Yes to all! When this hits live I'll be the fist one to undelegate from bidding bot I'm delegating to for more than one year now. Linear curve with 25%curation rewards did nothing good for the Steem price, nothing good for content discovery, nothing good for new people when most of us delegated to bidbots. Curation needs to be at 50% today, this won't magically fix everything but it will be a step in the right direction!
Likewise, I'll be on the hunt for pricks doing exactly what I'm doing right now, as strange as that sounds, it's perfectly logical
Because under the EIP, fighting against abuse is no longer expensive and futile!
Found a couple for you, these 'traf' and 'raindrop' accounts man, really kicked my Steem morale in the knackers this past year.
You mention it only needing 2 accounts around your size to keep you on the straight and narrow - any idea who they could be? The cascading effect seems only likely to work if the top active voters get in line. That's transisto and ranchorelaxo/haejin - yeah, i'm not holding my breath but it would be nice to see your name appear on the vote pile of some decent content in the future.
Brazen.
