I think it depends on how you look at this, basically, if you make it 50:50, voting bots will have a harder time. 50:50 will probably make people vote on content they think will get higher votes later on. While this, on one side, definitely will lead to people vote on "big posts", if you consider incentives as OCD you might want to vote on very good "underdogs" too.

Steem Proposal System will be completed on Monday
Sure. But isnt OCD voted content very scarce (especially tied with the blocktrades vote).
I know bots would struggle...
But how difficult would you say it would be for Minnowbooster vote selling service to adjust the vote buyer roi?
Since the Curation % would increase, wouldnt you just be able to reduce the vote price so upvote buyer would have at least a positive return on their purchase?

Yes, the price would have to decrease, but that would mean that the throughput of votes also decrease (less votes, less income for the bots, more time until the resulting steem power is powered down and returned to delegators). Besides that, vote selling might be less worth it and it might be more worth to manually vote on good content.

Why do you think less votes would be bought? Im inclined to think the exact opposite since after the 50/50 split and the price adjustment the demand for votes would increase since for a 110$ vote you would no longer have to pay 100 USD but rather something like 70-80USD.
Getting higher up the trending page would be cheaper.
I know bots would suffer but Smartsteem and Minnowbooster vote selling services i dont think would. They work quite differently then bots.

Like I said, vote selling won't be as profitable for the vote sellers anymore because manual curation could yield higher profits. (if done right).

Thats what i wanted to hear. :)
"If done right" curation could lead curators to earn more then vote sellers. That is the case even now.
The problem is that passive investors dont care even in the slightest about curation and all you just did is cut author earnings...
Being on equal grounds or even earning a bit less then curators while having to do nothing is still preferable to those that dont want to do anything.
Being a good (profitable) curator takes time and effort.

Yes, if done right they can do that already, but it is extremely difficult due to the 75:25 share, but on a 50:50 share, that does get a lot easier. And you gotta see, as a private investor I will delegate my SP via dlease to someone who manually curates and will get a nice profit margin out of it. That is a win-win-win (investor, curator, author)

Yeah Dlease is a wildcard. Its very hard to guess market relations but i think they would be informed by vote buying prices like they are now.
The profit margin on it is hard to guess.
