Very interesting. I know that the whole curation rewards thing can be a bit of a game if you really want to try and play at it. I've never really been into that though. The stuff I do manually I do whenever I come across it. The auto votes I have all hit at the four minute mark I think.
Myeah, I know there's people unaware of the changes and don't mind voting after 24h now and then, I do that too. But it's different if you don't expect it and it's a bit random, compared to knowing every post that will get the late rewards and turning all your votes into 2x+ returns at the cost of the other.
Sorry, I don’t get it. Do we earn more curation rewards if we vote early ? I thought the first one to vote had a kind of a bonus, but the system was not built to incentivize instant or early voting, at the same time. I am able to make 9.4% apr with manual curation , is this too much or expected?
It's expected around that I think, you can track your individual votes' returns on hivestats.io/@username.
You could see that some are returning more than 100% efficiency which may be due to stake voting after 24h with you being within the 24h window.
Yeah, that is definitely a bit sus. I used to try to chase the curation rewards a bit more, but after that last hard fork where they changed the metrics a bit, I decided to just let it go and have fun.
