I can't give any more curation than I'm.giving. I'm already currently giving more than I'm supposed to.
I'd rather not post than have more be taken from me by people who are doing nothing more than what they were before, and earning double the rewards (from my own pocket)
I'll just spend my time curating and upvote my own comments, I guess.
Yes I will make less, but so be it. The principle is more fair than the alternative.
If investors want to make money, let them post instead of taking from small accounts to line their own pockets.

I think it is just a matter of perspective. Your post is worth 0 until someone decides otherwise.
I have always been in favor of a curation slider, but I would set it to at least 50%. I don't mind giving back more to my supporters since it is their vote. They could always go vote for someone else.
There is way to much mediocre content here that seems to only have a function of getting rewards for vote trading or other self voting services. It is cool and makes sense for the people doing it, but it doesn't really add value for anyone not involved.
There are exceptions, but I think we need to discourage selfish behavior and I see increased curation rewards as a safer way of accomplishing this. Technically you can still get it all back if you trade.
I'm an investor, but as and investor I don't want more Steem I want the market price increase. As a posts I want my posts to earn more Steem. As someone with Steem power Inwamt to increase my curation.
Few people have a single goal. I hope we see better content and not the same boring posts or authors constany. I'm doing very well umder the current system, but I also.see how it is unsustainable.
How long can Steem remain in the top 100? Some of the altcoins ahead of it are a joke....what does that say about Steem?

I like the sound of that curation Slider.
It's an interesting perspective.
I'd love to see it implemented.
IF people chose to be altruistic, great, if not, we can't judge the reason why, maybe they have legit reasons?
You're very right.
People set the value of your posts and that is thanks to curation. Absolutely right.
However as I stated somewhere in another comment hahaha..it takes me MUCH longer to write my original content than it does to curate that same type of post.
Honestly? Curators don't even have to read. they can just click and vote.
I don't have a problem with rewarding curators with part of the rewards...but as you can see in the chart... It's pretty skewed.
Rich get richer. End of story.
(As far as the same boring content... You should read the story that I wrote exclusively for Steemit... Hehe. It not boring...and got a LOT of steemians very excited for more. I'm currently releasing bits of the sequel daily... Also exclusively for Steemit.)
I suspect for the most part your ideas are correct. I'm just trying to e optimistic now that it seems inevitavoe to pass HF21.
I'm definitely going to check out more of your work.
I do hope this change has the desired effect to reward good content rather than bad content. However its much easier for bad actors to exploit loopholes and just start over if they do something unacceptable.

Well, I can tell you how I will behave.
Less content. More curation
And I can't wait to TRACK how much more money the whales will be making over time.
Every month I'll go into steemworld to show the last 30 days of activity on the same accounts.from my chart (and more!) To show the people EXACTLY where their money went to after these changes are implemented.
When people talk about "oh ...it will eventually be an equilibrium"... you know what they mean?
They mean ...eventually, the people who leave will take all prior knowledge with them and we will only be left with the ones who don't know any better.
But numbers don't lie. And the blockchain is forever.
