Its not quite as it seems!
This shift will do 2 things

1. People will buy steem as its more worthwhile to curate (we need this more than more authors)
   Or to put it another way, what are we more short of, people posting or people powering up their steem! Note that most the people complaining have not bought any steem but just want to get more rewards. So this balance needs addressing..

2. It will reduce bid bot use, and that cant be a bad thing!

So watch out. Steem price may well surprise u soon! Xx
