Voted for

I don't think this would solve the underlying issues. It is a good idea, but I doubt it can have an impact on improving two issues: organic voting & increasing interest to buy steem and power up.
I think these kinds of changes should be universally applied, so there is no confusion. I think 50/50 standard split can achieve that.
I personally think curation reward should even be 75%. This would encourage organic voting and increase interest to buy steem. More people buying Steem will increase the demand and price of Steem, which will result in higher pays for authors. At the same time, authors can also be curating, so I doubt the authors would be at a loss.
I equally think it wouldn't solve any of those issues you pointed out.
Still, 75% wouldn't encourage organic voting because the system will still look the same for those who cycle jerk and exchange votes as they still get and equal treatment among themselves.
Moreover, at 75% curation, we would see more curation snipping bots and spam voting bots (like these accounts that have voted your comment). I mean bid bots will simply be replaced by more of these bots. I can picture seeing posts with 1k+ upvotes having something $0.01.

You bring up a good point, that votes on posts and comments should have different structure.
I think with 75% curation reward people will be more likely put in their live savings into steem instead of other investment options which in return increase the price of steem and more votes for authors. At 75% curation there is no need to invest in bidbots. In this case investors will be more interested in steem working organically because it will increase the the value of their investment.
But this will never happen. People are focused on short term gains.
75% curation reward could have a huge impact on authors and their rewards. The question is if there will be less posts because the rewards. The voting amount won't be bigger and getting only 1/3 of the former rewards can be hard.
