That's where I see a problem with the KE number. Not everyone wants to keep all their stake, and in my case, had to powerdown to live on for a while. So it can skew people's opinion based on how much they have kept in the system or not vs what they contribute to the ecosystem
yeah it's just an indicator, i mean it's not like it was difficult to figure that out in the past as a curator based on reputation and current hp, but yeah I'd like to reward those spending more time here and trying to earn a following and appreciating others activities more
Yeah, I have just seen others comment about it too and can see where it could become a problem with scaring people into keeping their stake powered up in fear of losing followers just because they need to pay some bills. Just my thoughts on it.
I wrote a post about it some time ago, to me it's not a big deal personally as long as those users are still providing value in some ways to the network. If all they do however is just post and farm autovotes then yeah, nah.
That being said, I agree with the whole posting and not engaging thing, that is a valid reason to unfollow.
