If you can't convince people to buy hive, the outcome will eventually be that you can split it whatever way you like, 80/20 to creators, 90/10 to creators, heck 100/0 to creators. What they earn will still be worth zilch.

Just as a note, the pool would still be split evenly between curators/authors. Just HP holders would get a little more for holding HP for at least 13 weeks whilst authors would get a little less.

Instead of trying fervently play the redistribution game (lets not sink to commie mentality ?) how about we try grow the size of the pot?
