RE: Steem, Curation, and lap-dances at Steemfest 3
50/50 reward split might decrease delegation to bid bots. At 75/25 split, curation bots like @nfc can return 20% ROI (more than 70% of bid-bots I suppose), imagine what would be the return at 50/50.
I don't think most of the users would like to read and vote contents while they can earn passive income delegating to a curation bot like what we have now with bid bots.
Right now for me, I can take several weeks to think, learn, and develop a tool, then make a post at utopian-io and get rewarded for it. For 100 STU I can take 75 worth of STEEM and SBD, will it get 150 STU under 50/50 consistently? I doubt that.
Producing good content is expensive, so there will be less to vote on. But what would you do while your VM is at 100%? I guess vote on mediocre content because with one click 50% is mine.
If anyone delegate me 50K SP for a reasonable fee under 50/50 reward split, I'd support this. ;)
Passive income to a curation bot sounds ok to me?
I was thinking about how 50/50 might work for Utopian. Right now, it's a great curation for $ place due to people knowing good contributions can receive a 50-75% vote, and this vote might be 1/2/3/6 days after the post is created. Even 12 hours before the vote leaves anyone the chance to get involved in the post.
50k could get you around 250-300 SP a week at 50/50 :O
