Am I missing something here? Are you proposing to take rewards away from Creators for Curators? I'm just catching up to this proposal and I've been seeing a 50/50 split bandied about.

As a creator, I cannot agree to this proposal. Creators should get the vast majority of the rewards on the system and right behind them should be witnesses and then finally the Curators.

If you want to make user retention better, stop focusing on the false promise of rewarding what amounts to passive participants with money and make the Steem Network easy to use. 100% of people who I've gotten to join give up after two days because of confusion and not enough INITIAL SP to explore the network. They don't get to vote and get confused about "Powering Up".

You're tinkering around with a car engine and ignoring that your car doesn't have seats for drivers. It's unreal that you think that just by throwing money at users that you'll get good curation. Users love the experience of sharing and commenting. They'll do it without compensation if the system is effortless to use.

This kind of thinking is killing the network. Remember the famous adage, "Keep it simple, stupid" and look at the experience from your run of the mill user and you'll get better retention.

Why is this so hard to understand?
