Can We Have A Discussion Regarding Changing to 60/40 Post Payout In Author's Favour?

My journey into the crypto scene started back in 2017 as a result of discovering the legacy chain Steemit. I am not overestimating the case but Steemit changed my whole life. I actually wasn't blogging for that long on Steemit but it was my gateway into crypto and I owe Steemit and Hive a lot.

Back in the days of Steemit whenever I published a post I would be rewarded 70/30 on post payout, so 70% of the payout went to me the author and content creator with the remaining 30% being paid to the curators. I actually thought this was a very fair reward system. For years this was the way and it seemed to work.

I know there was always a discussion about whether the reward ratio should be changed and of course as we know when the fork happened and Hive was created the post payout ratio changed to 50/50 and it has been that way ever since.

During various discussions about this issue some people even wanted the payout ratio to be 75/25 in the curators favour - utter madness!

However, personally I would like to see the reward structure revert back to 70/30. There are also many, many people I have spoken to since joining Hive who would also be very happy to see the payout structure back to 70/30, as it used to be the case back on the legacy chain.

I would like to just test the waters a little with this post and provoke a conversation if possible as to the viability of meeting this issue halfway and compromising with a 60/40 ratio payout. I would like to know if any of you guys would support this idea as a way of slightly increasing the authors payout given that they are the ones who create the content.

I am aware that all this would have to be put to the witnesses and a fork would needed to be implemented. But we are way off that at this stage. I just simply want to know who would support 60/40 payouts in the author's favour?

I would be grateful if you could let me know in the comments, thanks.

Peace!
