This is definitely a great update. The reduction in beneficiary rewards will be greatly useful for people who post regularly using Esteem app. Good move by the team.
I would like to highlight one of the risks, this can bring. There can be more abusers in the platform who try to accumulate more ESTM points by spamming posts and comments and other activities. It will be nice to have to as some thought and bring some control over it. But this is definitely a great move.
I believe you are now the role model for all other communities to reconsider the beneficiary rewards they have been taking. Thanks for this awesome update @good-karma and team.
ESTM mining has its own curve and daily pool limit and we are constantly working on improving it until we get better, fair and equal distribution. Social activities cost RC so users are discouraged from spamming in blockchain level as well.
