Hey Martin. I suggested giving 75% of the post reward to curators because I hypothesize that this will lead to higher quality and lower quantity of new posts. To me it makes sense to set up the platform so that everyone is able to make at least a little bit. And then the high-quality content will have much less competition and I hypothesize that this will lead to that content being rewarded even more than currently (i.e. 75% of post reward going to creator). I'm saying that a very small minority of the platform users have much inclination or skill to write blogs, and I think it's important for those people to still be able to make a bit of money without creating posts, but just curating. Hope that clarifies it. I'm also saying that determining these parameters will very much depend on the community in question, so I'm definitely not suggesting them being hardcoded for the whole Steem blockchain.

I still can't understand how you think it works fairly for the artists and other content providers. For example I spend a few nights working working into the wee small hours on a song, then I get my cameras set for filming and studio mics set up for the sound. It's a few takes before I'm happy with it, then to the computer to edit and chop the footage from the 2cameras (sometimes 4), add and sync the sound, then render, before I post it up.
Now that's not including the lifetime playing the guitar and honing songwriting skills.
So please tell me where the sense of fairness lies in a situation where the curators then take 75% of the reward?
I'm not belittling the work or value of good curators, but really don't think you'll find that many of those who produce qood quality artistic content would not be prepared to go for that.
From my training, representing the world with terms like "fairness" goes nowhere. It doesn't allow for problem solving to happen because the problem is never identified in the first place.
What are you trying to achieve? Define your goal. To me, you are trying to reward content producers sufficiently so that they will use the platform (because it meets their needs and so on). If the setup I'm suggesting leads to more reward for content creators than currently, then it will be achieving the goal more so.
