Yeah, I hear you. However, I don't think that is possible as long as @steemit continues to power down more than 325K per week. I might be wrong though.

Also, even though I can see how this potentially could benefit us in the long haul, I think it's likely to do more harm than good, as the existing Steemians, especially "wealthier" accounts that already have a decent amount of SP will continue to grow larger, in an even faster pace than before due to reward changes, long before onboarding of new users would begin... And that usually doesn't look good.

Those are often the typical "red flags" that makes people anxious and skeptical, which ultimately would become the biggest obstacles for us to get new people to join. And truth to be told, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) problem we have right now, before HF21, is that newcomers leave when they struggle to earn...

That being said, I hope I am wrong, and I truly hope that HF21 will be as good as many people claims it to be.

Yeah, hopefully people will truly realize how tribes and communities can and eventually will have a great positive impact on Steem in general, with tokens and all.

Who knows, this might be exactly what we are looking for, so I try to stay positive... But I remember the results of the previous HF's so I remain skeptical.

Would be really cool to see more manual curation again, that would certainly boost the rewards for some authors. Not so sure if it works in the long haul though, as people are used to be passive or non-active and still earn a bunch due to auto-votes and delegations.

Let's hope for the best.
