As one of the people impacted negatively by this change, I'd like to state that I support this change. The current system is clearly flawed and needs to be changed sooner rather than later. Making these kinds of corrections as early as possible is better for the system as a whole as there aren't that many people affected. We're dealing with a brand new crypto-currency experiment here,one should not expect that everything would be perfect and immutable in the first iteration.

To those who feel they're losing money here, let me remind you that nothing has actually been earnt yet as we're still a few weeks away from the first payout! That's why all payouts are still pending, so you're not really losing anything. Even the amounts we'll still be receiving are quite frankly ridiculous based on the amount of work actually done; I'm certain this is the easiest/most enjoyable money any of us will ever earn, so just sit back, continue curating and enjoy your "free money".
