Well said @timcliff
Users shouldn't feel entitled to any rewards before the end of the voting period.
An easy way to solve this is to hide payout until its actually paid out.

What is hidden can´t be evaluated. And the evaluation of the monetary value of a given piece of content is at the core of the Steemit idea, I think.
It is the content that should be evaluated not payout. Otherwise you are influencing voter's decision.
Everything could still be viewed on the blockchain anyway.
To me voters should vote based on content and moderators should vote based on payouts.
As I understand it, the content is evaluated in terms of whether or not the subjectively perceived value of a post is in agreement with it´s reward level at the time-point of the assessment.
If the outcome of this evaluation results in a change of the reward level (upvote, downvote, removal of a previously given up-/downvote) it is supposed to influence the assessment of the subsequent curator.
I guess I forgot about curators, so yeah I' d agree with you that payout is necessary for curators but curators votes for stuff that are going to make them the most money not the stuff they like the most.
In a system where users votes for stuff that they like payouts is not necessary.
I agree with the first part :)
IMO, the second part solves one problem but it takes away an important aspect of the platform. This post is intended to be an informative post for new users though, so any conversations about potential changes to the platform would be best discussed elsewhere ;)
Don't start the argument if you don't want to talk about it lol
Your comment is a bit like me saying: I disagree with your post but please don't ask me why .
Yeah, I do that a lot don't I, lol
