Only because they don't understand why, that's why I wanted to drop the information in here. There is about 5 top 19 witnesses who are campaigning for linear rewards, I am also in support of this. The difficulty is that there is at least a few whales who don't want to lose their cash cow and lacking their support steemit, inc. is also a bit tangled up in this because whales also have quite a bit of influence over who gets to be witness also.

I think the linear reward distribution will not lead to as many problems as some are saying (self-voting), but definitely the power curve distribution creates a very bad division between power and stake that especially affects how the rewards are allocated, which is why I support the message that @abit is trying to bring to people.

Thanks a lot for your explanation of this. I myself hadn't seen such a clear explanation yet and, even though I don't mind testing during beta anyway, I do understand the reasons behind this more clearly now.

It's a shame there's a division in the top influencers about it, as that trickles down to the rest of us Steemians aswell. Hench all the negativity surrounding this experiment.

I understand people being reluctant to let go of their income ofcourse, but if this change will lead to a fairer reward distribution, wouldn't that also lead to a better, or at the very least more varied quality of posts? This should only help to increase wider acception of Steemit, meaning more chances of the Steem price going up. That would lead to a bigger income in the end.
