Kia ora! Thank you for this post and shedding light on the new adjustments for the curation rewards. While there are people who will view it as antagonizing for the part of the authors, I myself can't give a definitive conclusion on who will benefit more. I will see things as they happen. Thanks too for putting emphasis on the acts of altruism. It doesn't have to be always big; as small acts of random kindness can bring ripple effects in the entire Steem blockchain making it a better place for authors and curators.
