I myself am totally against any changes to the current reward pool system. I have read many different comments and post on the subject. For the 3 years I was on Steem every hard fork involved trying to fix the reward pool.

The reward pool system has never had a chance to stabilize. No changes should be done to the reward pool system until we have the foundation of Hive solidly built. Hard Fork 24 was a great start, we are now done with steem and now the next steps need to be done.

The witness selection/retention system needs to be worked on first. Hard Fork 25 should be about completing the Smart Contracts, (SMT/HMT), and the witness system.

If we as a group are going to do as steem block chain did and continue to chase the reward system then there really is nothing to differentiate Hive from Steem block chain.
