As with all things in the hive, there are many moving parts, your payouts may not increase 50%.
It may not happen right on time.
It takes 17 of the 20 witnesses to change the rules in the code.
If you were voting comments, and were the only vote on it, your cut should nearly double.
The author of the comment's cut, too.
What this means to you, dear stakeholders, you simply must join in the downvoting of comment farmers.
Comment farmers, and really any low effort posts, dilute the value of the other posts.
By taking rewards that actual users could have gotten, the vote farmer counterfeits hive and passes it as if it was honestly earned.
Any rewards vote farmers take from those actually contributing effort, beyond simple coding scripts, are being ripped off.
That is likely you, dear reader.
Join the hive downvote rewards server below.
Follow their trails.
Give the crab bucket more claws, please.
Only you can contribute your stake to end counterfeit hive.
Make them earn what they get here.
This crowd is no pushover.
Help make that be, eh?

These are public rooms managed by private people for the benefit of everybody using this blockchain.
What they do is voluntary, but openly public.
Don't abuse their willingness to work for the collective for what little we give them, eh?
Without them, none of this exists.
When you go through these rooms catching up on 'the community', be sure to look for the detective, and add your detective, too!
Id say comment farming is a drop in the ocean of counterfeit on hive!
What would you like to aim the community pushback on counterfeiting at?
20000+ fake accounts, a cartel of insiders controlling the reward pool, and payroll accounts being endlessly upvoted for posting mind numbingly shit approved content... no that won't be happening, keep watching those comment farmers...not trying to be a cunt, and i see why that wont be happening, but downvoting is just bullshit disguised as policing abuse... like most authority positions
I'd say those controllers are taking a big step letting loose of the poor tax.
Maybe if you joined the community effort to pushback on low effort posting and botnet abusers we could finally get enough stake on the pushback side to run them off?
The cartel got busted up some in the fork from the hostile takeover.
You know who has either left or adopted a much lower profile.
This is the most hopeful I've been in a long time.
Powerup your PAY tokens and help distribute the abundance?
You have to do what you believe in. Personally I don't do downvoting, back in 2016 I did a post essentially saying downvoting will kill the steemit platform, and over the years I've had the odd downvote or two, but I've never dumped one on anyone else.
Even Fakebook, that sea of bullshit platform, were aware that downvoting destroys social media platforms. Downvoting is fucked up, and any account who downvotes any of my accounts, for any reason, is my enemy for the life of the blockchain.
And tokens like pay are meaningless to most content creators...i don't even know what they are or where they came from...they go up and down a lot, from 5 dollars to 50 dollars in my wallet...who cares?
Well, it is very fortunate that you have run into me, then.
See, when you follow a trail, you don't downvote.
You enlarge the downvotes of those willing to defend the pool from counterfeiters.
Well, now, I don't see you posting on blurt, now do I?
I don't know if you post there, or not, but I do know they forked away just to eliminate flags for what good it has done them.
Absent the pushback on low effort rewards, this endeavor would have devolved into bots as a source of distributing the stake centralizing the coins to coders and not regular people like me.
Funny that, a number of the downvoters think the same things about the folks they flag.
Well, feel free to burn them, dump them, or hand them out like Pez, that is what they are there for, and it is, after all, your world to set into the order you like.
The people to whom 50 dollars is several days of hard labor?
See, when you follow a trail, you don't downvote.
You enlarge the downvotes of those willing to defend the pool from counterfeiters.
And when you trust in government/religion/cult/tv/laws you enlarge the power of the maggots who want to beat you into submission and make you a slave for life.
The counterfeiters OWN the reward pool...
I don't know what PAY actually is but I just powered all mine up in case it does something- it's worth all of $30
When Blurt came out I said "fucked if I'm going to post on a platform named after tampon leakage" and I've never actually looked at it - do they pay in blurt tokens? - lol...
Does one become a comment farmer before or after the vote of other users?
Lets say I just say "splendid post." and nothing else and no one votes, does that make me a comment farmer or is it after I received vote(s)?
Splendid Post BTW
Low effort posting makes you a spammer, it's if you selfvote it that makes you a farmer.
Or, if you make a circle with others and shake hands everyday to the exclusion of others.
Sound familiar?
This is what most of the 'curation' projects do in practice, if not in intent.
Anybody that doesn't join their gang has their rewards reduced by the gang taking collectively more from the pool.
Ganging up to increase rewards is showing a lack of class, iyam.
This is a crab bucket, not crapitalism.
Oh please, not you too... Do we need everyone looking at weird shit to punish users for or do we need a higher price better distributed reward pool?
Do we abandon it to bots, or do we make something of it?
People voting themselves on day 6, voting every comment they make, or any of a number of other schemes, not excluding plagiarism or id theft, need a community response.
These people counterfeit hive.
If we let these automated schemes print money for no further effort on the coder's part we might as well abandon the ship as another pos scheme to enrich the devs.
This has been long discussed.
The crab bucket is what makes us viable as a startup.
If folks don't like it, they should help adjust the crowd.
Defi could take us away from that, in time.
How would you improve things?
If you cared to do so.
I wouldn't police the reward pool much except in extreme cases. Each person is just allocating their share of their stake. They can't allocate your share of your stake.
I would market the hell out of the social media side, I would do away with all the talk of Quality Content and let and encourage engagement and fun
small users downvoting other small users is no big deal, where this all becomes a problem is a handful of large users picking on random people.
Those large users appear to be disappearing.
It is much more up to 'us', now.
Imo.
So, it's not ok if I set up a spam bot and self vote it all I want?
No, maybe not, but they can reduce it, nonetheless.
Join us in the bucket, follow a downvoting trail, ride herd on those that take it upon themselves to research their flags.
Or, pushback on those not doing a good job.
Plenty of low effort counterfeiting going on.
Plenty of eyes needed to keep things on the up and up.
