If you want to decrease self-voting, then punish self-voting. If you want to get investors, create better and easier to use software. Go and innovate. If you want to decrease bid-bots, then come up with a solution that does that, but DO NOT think that just because someone reads our work, comments and re-steems entitles them to half our reward. It will not make the network better, it will make the network worse.
Very well said my esteemed @distantsignal. :)
Curators as a class have not earned the privilege of that much reward.
I totally agree with you on this mate. And certainly I also dropped my fair bit of opinions everywhere about this balderdash matters.
As an aside, I want to be frank about how I feel Curators being placed on par with creators.
Yeah! "Curators" c-u-r-e=i=t=o=r=s...
Ha, I even also have written a 'bilingual' post about my views on "Avid Curators" a month ago. And just to complement that last .gif in your article here, let's just add one more eloquent Pic to the EIP pot.
Oh! so, you are a Curator eh?
Ha! Thank you! I love that image. If only I could make my feet actually do that.
Just with practice mate. }:)
Everything with practice 'should' be achievable. LoL
BTW. The level of support for this is bit surprising and not. Who could imagine that a proposal offering more money to people who LITERALLY DO LESS than creators would be popular. It’s so weird!
Sarcasm Beam is set to kill here.

Do you feel creating a post a day is doing more than investing 1 Million dollars to power up and support content on the platform?
Hi Apples, meet Oranges.
My individual posts? No.
However, the collective effort of all the creators is worth more than this hypothetical $1 million. Way more.
What good is said money without the content? It isn't, so please don't come asking this skewed, hypothetical question as though an investor is inherently worth more than the creator. I get this kind of crap all the time in the entertainment industry. I often hear, "well, he's the guy with the money." So what? The money is a useless tool without the idea and without the team to execute it.
The platform was created to put creators first. It's the number one reason I joined and pushed it.
And while I only have 4,000+ SP, that too makes ME an investor. I have a stake as both an investor AND a creator but I don't think my 4,000 SP makes me profoundly more valuable or more deserving of income. On that topic, as someone who has a lot of SP, you are more than capable of making good, passive income with that. Justify to me why you need more. Why is it as a creator I have to justify why I deserve the majority of rewards on a platform that was created to do just that.
Oh! lazy people outnumber us tenfold!!
And if it happens, that they also have some stake in the unfair game. Multiply that laziness tenfold more.
So, they know it better!! Tsk Tsk };)
