The proposals made by @trafalgar and @kevinwong i will describe as being by far the worst proposal on the STEEM blockchain with the largest support.

The consequences of such a change are extremely dire and should not even be considered.
By giving this proposal attention like you are currently doing, you are legitimizing it. Something this proposal does not deserve in the slightest.

There are a large number of places you can start when trying to address the Steem economics. Adjusting the split or the curve is not it.
Adopting their ideas is akin to platform suicide. Avoid at all cost.

The problems of this platform stem from lack of accountability, lack of governance, lack of any kind of repressive apparatus.
A perfect economic system does not exist. It will never exist and it has never existed.
Only fools think otherwise.

People are greedy and cannot govern themselves without having tools set in place.

If you want to fix steem, set up the tools.
(And filter the damn bots from Steemit trending page. You can at least do that.)
