As one of those fortunate "content guys" who has been the beneficiary of your kindness, I just want to say thanks. But ALSO, I'd like to chip in two cents here.
I think Steemit needs to continue to do everything and anything we can to IMPROVE CONTENT at the cost of undeserved (and unearned) high rewards for poor content.
If people can post a picture of their cat and get 20-40-100-1,000 times what a person who writes a well-written and well-researched 1000-word essay gets just because they stumbled across the platform in 2016 rather than 2019, that's a serious problem for the future of the platform, imho...
As a writer and not as much of a curation guy, I would say I'd be more in favor of 40-60 (C-A) to start, but I could go along with the 50-50 and see how it goes for awhile, for sure.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, Dan! A lot of us would not be here if it weren't for the rare people like yourself.
