It also would help by not having 50/50 rewards. Why write any posts when you can just buy Steem, power it up, and auto upvote anything blindly, or join a curation trail.

Many curation trails are just automatic and have no manuall curators. @informationwar and maybe 6 or 7 others are essentially the only ones who do that. Its more profitable and less time consuming if we just set it to autoupvote anything in #informationwar, but we don't because we are just purists in that sense of wanting to follow the spirit of the "code is law" that is "curating".

Many don't follow the spirit of "code is law" that is what curation is supposed to be, a discerning eye and discriminating for upvoting. I think 50/50 rewards gives more incentives against ACTUAL curation, the definition of curation.

Also, 50/50 places equal value on upvotes than on content creation. With 75/25 it was a 3x fold placed on content cration being the most rewarding aspect. Does clicking an upvote button or joining an autoupvote trail really worth 50% of the value? I don't think so at all, doesn't make sense logically.
