My original intent was for 10% of the rewards to go to witnesses, 90% to go to content / curation. At some point we changed the rewards issued to maintain the desired inflation rate, but it appears we did overlook what happened to the scale when liquidity rewards were removed.
Our short-term roadmap includes making witness pay a parameter and I will be very vocal in supporting the concept that block producers should collectively get at most 10% of the daily rewards.
I also support the idea of having votes decay unless the opinions are actively re-asserted. Incumbents have too much power.
Lastly I support increasing the pay of the time-shared witness slot relative to the top 19. This would allow more people to be involved.
