Thanks for opening the discussion and providing awareness. First reaction to the 50/50 idea was maybe it could work. Then as I thought on it some more I changed my mind. It could have the effect of less quality content being submitted. Although I think many authors of good content would continue to do so because they love what they write about no matter the compensation. Still to reduce the reward to 50% for the efforts of authoring quality does not seem fair and could cause some good writers not submit as much. I am new here with still much to learn but the reward of authoring should have more weight then the comments and replies generated from that original work. I like your work here and was in need of discovering a new witness. You got my support.

That is definitely a potential downside, but that is all relative. It will seem like a loss to authors since they are used to 75% rewards, but if you look at it from the perspective of what they would get on other sites which have no rewards at all 50% is pretty big.
Also one of my thoughts is that by offering 50% to curators it could potentially get more votes for good content than with 25% curation rewards making it potentially a net gain for authors. Remains to be seen if that would actually happen though.
Thank you very much for your support!
Agree that authors would gain back from increased curator reward. Will be interesting to see if there is a change and how it would effect the whole. I have no idea of the politics here and what it would take to have such a change put in place. Guess it would need a majority of witnesses to have the power to effect the change?
