There is a clear tendency to focus only on the static effects of 50/50. It’s clear that at least some manual curators would become much more active after going 50/50. I’ve been told smoke.io has 50/50 curation there’s some actual data - possibly applicable - in existence already.

One of the main reasons I invested a little in Smoke early on was due to 50/50 and from what I've witnessed so far there's always quality content on trending. It's going to be interesting seeing how that will work on Steem, especially now with stake being more distributed.
