Money grubbin' idiots, imo.

Well, don't tell them that because I agree. It's not working for them.

Take @tonimontana and @stmdev, for example, they are literally gaining nothing. But, they do prevent other people for gaining meaningful curation. At least, that's what I see from Steem World anyhow.

Maybe that's what they are going for? Sabotaging curation rewards in general?

.

Do they actually not? Ha, didn't know that.

Well, I guess STEEM curation rewards are just collateral damage in this case.

.

Based on my observations:

In most of my posts, I get somewhere between 55-60% of the post value shown after curation.

I would say the impact is significant when it comes to curation returned to the pool. You should do some analysis on that.

Yes, numbers would be nice.
Maybe it isn't a big deal.

It is an option, they can have it.
Same with early voting, they can have time agnostic voting.

That is my guess.
They are just being dicks.
