well for one thing it would definitely be a macro downward pressure on rewards from steemit, which is still young.  This might be good later on but right now do you really want people thinking steemit just made it harder to get rewards and is paying out less to us.  Even if that isnt true overall that is the vibe this limit gives out, its like steem austerity for no real reason other than this guy doesnt like bikini posters earning money.
