Thank you @clayop, I do not know where every one stands on the current situation but I hope you can see the inability of this system to go anywhere but to the morgue. What I have seen of the proposed changes is like putting a Band-Aid over a ruptured aorta.
Time for couching realities into niceties has long gone.
Apologies if you are in the 'whale' camp!
Nothing personal. It is just in front of one's face like a strobe light.

I delved into the fundamental reason of the bot issue. https://steemit.com/steem/@clayop/revisiting-curation-reward-hot-coffee-cold-coffee-and-lukewarm-coffee
I think one of the main issue is misaligned incentives, which disincentivizes humans. I personally strongly believe satisfaction or psychic income, and humans can be motivated by them. In this sense, I am not a huge fan of curation reward.

I can be a whale, but I am planning to delegate majority of my SP to active Korean community members. I think it's the most valuable role as a whale; empowering others with my stake. Who knows? Giving up small money will give much more money? (Steem To da Alpha Centauri!)

Many thanks for your message @clayop. I still don't really know who is who and so am probably treading on toes. I can see that the voting side of steemit has the value at its heart. What I cannot see is how you know what a vote carries. I saw @krnel yesterday say that his vote is worth 3 cents. Your idea of leasing value to others, as I put it yesterday on Discord is a good one. There needs to be a whole management proposal to the Steemit Inc. crowd very soon as the structure has mortal wounds.
Decentralisation of the vital organs is a necessary step. My heart is not adjacent to my liver!
