BTW, curation rewards are why most people stake up, because most people recognize that there's no such thing as money trees and they want to get rewarded for rewarding others, it's a win win, that kind of influential power will always be in demand. On the other hand, if there wasn't a way to counter self voting this place would not exist. I wonder where whaleshares is heading considering that they literally removed the only mechanism to curb such idiotic value extracting and value destroying behaviors.

If what you say is true the users and activity on here would continue to go up and up regardless of what the price of steem does. Looking at those numbers overlayed on a price of steem chart doesn't support your thesis.

Why? People leaving offsets it obviously, but people keep joining, regardless of price, why? Because people kept joining long after the price was in the 6c range.

Curious what your take is on curation snipers.

You mean those low sp accounts that automatically upvote posts with popular tags from fellow low sp accounts?

Almost but not sure what you mean by fellow low sp accounts. They often target popular accounts known to receive high payouts with a nominal vote and are more or less agnostic to the content itself.

It's going to be much more profitable post fork I imagine. I see it as undermining ideal functioning of content discovery via organic curation.
