Delegating more to communities is definitely a good idea. This is the first time someone mentioned in this conversation.
It could be argued that higher curation rewards will motivate more manual curation. But who says that increased curation will be manual?
I don't know Mark honestly, I don't know anything anymore. Whatever changes they are planning on implementing should be done as soon as possible, so we can all adjust. Probably if life doesn't pressure me to sell all my stake, I can build something on here and have some form of impact. That's the whole point of building one's stake.

I think it's much more feasible to make all these changes now than later when there will hopefully be more vested interests standing in their way. I think it was @theycallmedan who mentioned investing in some sports betting site that had loads of traffic until it hit some issue that hadn't been put right earlier and fizzled out.
I'm open to change. However, I don't think changing the reward ratio is priority now. I think a healthy distribution should be the major agenda and I think delegating to communities will solve that. When we are done with that then we can talk about a change in the reward ratio and tackling the bad actors, which is pretty ease. There are many groups saddled with this responsibility but they are usually biased and turn a blind eye but are quick to punish smaller account. The problem is not the economy, the problem is the people.
A better ecosystem is one everyone is comfortable doing what they love doing. A better ecosystem is one that is diverse. If I can earn as much as do for writing poem and short stories as those who make crappy dtube videos, I can actually contribute significantly to that sphere because it is what I love. But if I'm all over the place trying to make an extra buck here and there, chances are that I will not be indifferent about these other communities and dapps. If I love writing stories, I most definitely would love reading and commenting stories written by other story tellers because we have something in common. Build communities, solve steem's problem. Our major problem isn't the shitposts, nobody cares about those folks. Our major problem is distribution. If we fix that people are most likely to earn more andpower up, and be more committed to their groups and communities because that's how they will get rewarded. SMT hopes to solve this but I am not so sure it would.
