I'm in support of this because it's just not natural to read a new post and then have to think about when you will vote on it in order to get some curation rewards. When there were not that many new posts, it was easy to find "new" posts that were still older than the vote window and show them some love. I think this change will make that easier and more fun to do again, incentivizing rewarding new content from new users.
With curation rewards going up, this becomes more of an issue. I helped create and update scripts like this to get around this issue in the past, but it really just adds more complexity, so I'm happy we're doing away with it and going down to only 1 minute.
Those in the comments here concerned about bots, know that we all are. The reality of this ecosystem is we have to protect what we value. That may include actually finding and downvoting attempts at gaming the system for disproportional gains and wealth extraction while upvoting posts which create value (and by that, I mean real value for the STEEM token, not just "good" content).
Is it not gratifying enough find, READ, consume, digest and enjoy good content without have to think in 'Curation Rewards' anymore?
dPoll. };)Yeah! @lukestokes. I suspect you should cast your vote in this quirky
I think enjoying Steem via intrinsic motivations may be the only thing that really works well here for those willing to do it.
Polls which say things like "stop all the bots!" with no practical idea of how to actually do it do qualify as quirky. :)
Well, perhaps if you click here and read my response to @carlgnash comment, you might know how quirky I may go Hahahaha.
Cheers!! :)
