Yo, man, why do you say palnet is 'really not a creation/curation proposition anymore'?
For understanding VYB, you just have to read the intro post, it explains it all simply. Not much study hours is required, one post and you good.
It was nice reading your thoughts on this all. From the tribe's plan I myself am happy to see the tokenomics and the attempt to regulate a platform without using downvotes.
I say that because the most recent adjustments to the PAL project (in early 2021) restructured the balance of payuts to where only a tiny fraction of the daily PAL tokens generated go to content creation/curation, with the vast majority going to reward miners and other projects. These days, even the highest rewarded PalNet posts earn maybe 1.5 PAL tokens (a few cents) with most earing less than 0.1 PAL tokens.
It will definitely be interesting to see how VYB unfolds, without downvotes.
