Authors do not get 75% reward. That's a lie. Authors get 0% reward. Why? Because nobody is out there looking for what to upvote.
Minnows and redfishes like myself who are lucky enough to have votes trailing their accounts should not make the mistake of thinking that's what goes out there.
Nobody's gives a fuck.
The few that do what do they get?
Ned mutes them.
That's right.
The CEO of Steemit is muting an old respected hardworking veteran of Steem for taking a time out of his busy schedule to care about Steem
As far as rewards go, a 50% split between the author and curators is a better bet. Read again. I said "better" bet. And come to think of it, if a post has 30 real curators, is it really that terrible to share 50% of a $100 post among them while the author takes the other half? Plus if you feel the curators are taking too much did it ever occur to you that you can I don't know partake in that same art of curation?
Rewards are a big part of the foundation of this platform. If that same reward continues to be tilted out of balance, how on earth is the building not going to collapse?
If it ever looks like this dude complains alot well guess what? So do you.
If you've ever felt disinterested in making a post because of all the shit flying around, ever asked yourself "what's the point?" that's you complaining against the current system.
If we don't have a win-win or at least a near win-win situation, this shitfest will last long enough to watch wallets get devalued all the way down to zero.
Proposals have been made countless times. Cervantes put together a post concerning this proposal.. Top witnesses voted for it. Not a word has been heard since.
Everyone yaps about mass adoption yet the only people that can afford to stay put on this blockchain are folks whose financial muscles are totally dependent on their jobs offchain?
You want people - the resourceful full-time content creators - to dump their blogs, Instagram and its likes and move to Steem where there's neither an audience - our blogs don't even have a view counter - nor reward.
Isn't that fucking stupid?
Powering down and leaving just like all other content creators like them that came over from YouTube.

Nobody is getting any 75% reward. That's a fucking lie. Being lucky doesn't count. This was supposed to be Proof of Brain not Proof of Luck. It's easy to get comfortable when you have buddies upvoting you regularly.
If that continues to be the case, we will have to perform a miracle greater than Jesus' conversion of water into wine: get to the moon without mass adoption.
