**Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!**

As most of you probably know, our blockchain will soon undergo another hard fork. It will actually be the 21st hard fork already and it might well be one of the most radical and controversial as it will probably come with a number of major changes. Therefore, it is quite natural that there has been a lot of noise, debate and emotions about it lately.

I have never been much into technical stuff and obviously, hard forks are pretty technical matters but as a proud and active Steemian, I feel kind of obliged to make sure I have at least a thin grasp of what this thing is about so I have been browsing through posts with the #hardfork tag to get some idea of what we can expect from the upcoming hard fork. I have read a few interesting posts on this topic but there is one particular piece that really stands out and that I found really greatly laid out and super useful. The post was written by @justineh and you can find it [HERE](https://steemit.com/normietalk/@justineh/normie-talk-hf21-explained-sps-eip-what-it-is-and-what-happens-next). I know I could have just resteemed the post but in my experience, people don´t pay much attention to resteemed stuff and I would also like to know your thoughts on this topic, so I decided to create my own post to get some feedback from you guys. 

Obviously, it is the planned 50:50 reward split that has been causing most controversy, especially after it turned out that it will be the authors´ (and curators´) portion of the reward pool that additional 10% will be taken from to fund the new worker proposal system (SPS). 

Naturally, content creators now worry that they will be getting smaller payouts once these changes are implemented but I have read some interesting arguments claiming that quality content creators might eventually earn even more than before. 

The other changes that the HF21 will bring, such as the downvote pool, the convergent curve in curation and the worker proposal system, have been also discussed emotionally in the community and they all have both advocates and opponents.  
 
As for me, I don´t want to make any estimates at this point. I think only time will tell whether the hard fork has brought more positive or negative things but of course, I am hoping for the best :) How about you, my Steemian friends and followers? What are your expectations from all these changes? Let me know in the comment section below ;)
