Not a fan of downvote rewards pool, the downvote has been the cause of so much abuse. I can’t fathom why we’d reduce author rewards when minnows get nothing anyway. No way to encourage authors and as for curation rewards it’s still a mystery to me how they’re calculated and people use scripts to game the system anyway. It’s sad to see so many great Steemians jumping ship over these proposed changes.

You bring up a lot of the problems that exist today. It is hard to imagine how changes to the economic model will play out in practice. If there is no change in behavior, then yes - things could get worse. The hard part to quantity though is what might happen if the right incentives structure caused the entire dynamics of the community to shift.
You are correct. It is clear to me that investing a significant amount of effort in writing quality content is simply not worth it, at least with respect to the author rewards. I get more ROI by providing fluff content--a photo with a small amount of text, or a few paragraphs.
I flag trash (and morons). You have received a flag.
