I'd gladly give you a more detailed answer if you elaborated on prizes computation, and I'll assume you meant Utopian, not steemit? If you meant steemit, this is not the post you should be looking at. We are just a company based on steem, we do not own steem or have any say in the changes steem implements to the blockchain!

We are looking to provide more rewards for users with great content while lowering the rewards of content that is just barely good enough. We believe this will lead to a higher average quality on the platform and will bring a lot of skilled contributors to claim these high rewards.
