Do you get curation poachers, too?

Am I getting trolled?

I'm starting to think I am getting trolled.
I should probably check to see who else is in this exclusive curation club with me.

This link takes you to an explanation of the curation rewards.
The sharper tacks amongst you will notice that the math is not the same as today's math.

That will not change the ratios!

Instead of the rewards going to the author, like they did when this post was made, now they go to the trending page.

Instead of my curators getting their full rewards these jerks are sending them to the bid bots.

WTF?!!

All those sub 3 minute votes are screwing my other voters out of their rewards, too.
They got enough sense to not send their rewards to the bots, but no, these dang snipers beat them to it.

This is totally allowed by the math!

Good manners might preclude this behavior, but steem does not.

I guess if this post doesn't do the trick, i will have to drop more detail, next time.

This dang library computer won't let me screen cap like it should.
Won't let me download brave, took away the option of opera, and 'lied' to me with their explanations.
I was told that brave was a paid option, but that is almost true, if you are getting paid to use chrome and allowing brave would stop that revenue stream.

Aw, well, first world problems.

Have a perfectly peaceful sunday, dear reader,....

Sort:  

These days, if you look at how the post rewards are distributed, it seems like the author gets about 55% of the value.

I guess the "lost curation portion" went back to the reward pool. I imagine that benefit authors more than curators. But no, I have not done the math.

Those snipers have to know about the 5 minute window?
Are they that ignorant?
All for .001 sp?

I'm calling bs.

They also vote with tiny power...like 1% or less.

The point is to get more out of the vote you put in. To them, any curation reward that is equal to or greater than their vote value is a win. This is especially true when their vote is ridiculously tiny.

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.

That is my guess.
They are just being dicks.
