The intrinsic advantage of rewarding users who are bringing value to the network is good enough. Are you implying that new users aren't going to get upvoted anymore because rewards aren't being sapped by those who upvote later?
This mechanic that is being removed has never worked; at least as long as I've been here.
It's been nothing but a net gain for LEO removing it entirely.
We should get rid of the convergent curve as well, as it is also less than worthless and greatly decentivizes engagement and upvoting comments.
Well all the above inclines to totally flat curation....
Yeah I've been against curation for years.

So this is a big win for me.
It makes zero sense for 'curation', something that is 100% determined by optional & permissionless frontends, to be enforced on the backend in any way. The flat 'curation' kickback is just a brain hack that makes it more likely that users will vote other people. I'd say we're headed in a good direction.
