I appreciate the discussion, but I don't believe curation should be 50:50 with the way curation currently exists. Curation is a bots game currently, and that would have to be changed first (with the proposed 0.14 changes perhaps), for me to get behind an idea like this.

Right now we have bots that are powering down millions of vests a week and regaining the entire balance powered down simply by curating. This won't stop them, this will only make that behavior more popular.

I could see 50:50 maybe being viable is the changes in 0.14 go through, but right now there's push back on that as well.

Also - writing is harder than curation, why should it be an equal split?
