The Economics of Steem

I read the steemitblog post about the proposals earlier and found the comments very interesting as well.To be honest I am glad it is up for discussion as I don't quite know what to make of the whole thing.The house is quiet here and it is my thinking time and I thought I would just raise this tonight to see what others are thinking. Here is the link. https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/improving-the-economics-of-steem-a-community-proposal

Curation is what makes this place tick so for me it is probably the most important element for everyone.If no curation happened we would all be struggling to earn any rewards.I am happy to hand over a larger slice of my post to curators and to see how it would change things.

Gaming the system will always happen as someone will work out a way. That is what people do as they try and beat the system anyway they can.I wasn't here before the bots started and only know what we have now. I am not the smartest with all these linear curves and even though they say a simple example a simpler one further down the line would be appreciated.

I do agree with the comments by some of the users saying that SMT's are what is important right now and getting the place moving forward.I would like to see curation get a better slice of the pie, but it is getting the right balance making it fair for everyone. There are always going to be happy and unhappy users somewhere and that is why it has to be taken slowly and thought through properly from every angle.

I truly have no idea what is the best way forward and whatever happens in the future as long as it is an improvement then I am all for it.In one of the comments there was a thought of having a slider for curation and I think that this could work.As long as the slider started at 25 % which is what it is now and could go up as far as you wanted.The choice would be yours.
