I doubt it, individual curation rewards are even smaller. It's the absolute numbers that matter, not the relative numbers. Yes, 50% of an article reward will go to curation, but that means ALL curators, not just one. So, in the end, plankton and minnows might go from 0.002 SP in curation to 0.004 SP ... Do you think the additional incentive in curation rewards will be enough to sustain engagement in the face of a dramatic drop in author rewards which might go from 4 SP to 3 SP (for a good plankton/minnow post) ?

This is the 64000 question and I guess I am fence sitting a little but the biggest payout posts will still be getting bid botted so going 50/50 would be an improved distrobution of wealth. Something must be done to improve organic 'eyes on posts' to make content creation more relevant and encourage customers to come here and read and engage. There are a million sites online to read content and we need to divert their customers here. Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/nathen007)

I agree that "something must be done to improve organic 'eyes on posts'". My proposal is that posts should be of higher quality. More "Medium" or "Quora" quality, less Facebook or Instagram quality. As "quality" is relative, the typical way to address this is to foster the creation of communities which agree, each one for itself, what "quality" means for that community. Fundamentally, you cannot repair broken economics by using solely the economic lever, you need an external reference. Think of a helicopter: it cannot function with one rotor only, it needs a second, stabilizing rotor at the back

and even a dramatic drop in author rewards will mean 99% of authors are earning 100% more than they are anywhere else online! Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/nathen007)

That is not enough. Money (especially in very small amounts as is the case here) is not enough to compensate people's effort of switching to a different platform.
