Yes, by all means, go see all the extra curation that @steembasicincome will be passing through to its member base in the form of substantially larger upvotes.
It's substantial, and enough to almost entirely offset the decrease in author rewards that members will get from our votes, in spite of the decreased author rewards that will be earned. It won't be able to offset the convergent linear curve, unfortunately.
I am opposed to the EIP, but in my opinion, 50/50 is the best part of it.
I think SBI is in a good position to adjust and be just fine even with 50/50 rewards. One option would be to reduce the cost to sign up for each share. Another is to decrease the amount of leases that need to be bought, thereby increasing the value long-term by powering up more Steem.
