It's hard for me to add comments on the math of it all since I am still so new.
But there's this. It's already hard enough to convince friends to come over as it is. Seems like the pennies a post will become micro-pennies.
In that scenario, I can't imagine the selling point of putting up with the learning curve to groove oneself into using steem.

The math is solid. No one denies it.
The factor that everyone is not sure of is... human behavior.
Will people post more to work harder to get those rewards? Will abuse still happen? Will it increase, decrease? Will all of these changes make steem more valuable or less valuable.
But the bottom line is - before ANYthing starts to adjust... the funds will be coming FROM small accounts and going TO large accounts in this experiment. So - if it fails or succeeds - the large accounts win - no matter what.
Also - the people voting on this are set to be in that group of "winning"
So... if it turns into something bad - how long do you think it will take to correct it? When large accounts have doubled their curation rewards? In the chart I did in the post before this (and I even added your name to the chart so you could see!) the highest "win" went from 3000SP a month in curation rewards to 6000 SP a month.
And that is not even the biggest account.
ah well. As long as people allow it to happen - it will. I bank on human behavior continuing to do what's best for them.
It's the least common denominator. so... good luck to us all.
