Thanks for choosing my post!
Normally such kind of mention should lead to further activity like comments and upvotes (from which of course I already got more than enough).
However, that's not the case. In my opinion one of the reasons is that the curation window still favours fast autovotes over slow manual curation. Already after only 24 h curation is not as profitable as earlier upvotes anymore, and (as far as I am informed correctly) after 3 days it's worth even less.
Autovotes are fast by nature. They cost the 'curator' no time and energy at all. However, manual curation requires time. Many real manual curators can't take enough time for really seeking, reading and evaluating posts thoroughly more often than maybe twice or thrice per week. There is still no (financial) incentive to do that if it means that a big part of the discovered posts are older than two or three days already and thus upvoting them isn't really proftable anymore.
I know what we are having now is clearly better than that former ridiculous 5 minutes window for most profitable upvotes. Nevetheless, I think it's still not optimal. I simply see no reason why an early effortless autovote should lead to a higher curation reward than a conciously given manual upvote on a four days old post?
