One more thing I want to add or rather get confirmation with HF20. All votes within the new 15 minute limit of post publication will no longer go to the author but rather go to the curation pool? Is that right? Do u know the reasoning behind this decision?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The portion of the curation rewards that used to go to the author for early votes will now go back to the overall rewards fund for the platform. The reason for this is to remove the financial incentive for authors to upvote their own posts immediately which basically diverts a portion of the curation rewards on the post to themselves.
So another impact of this new rule is that voting bots would make more in curation rewards and can possible increase upvote ROI right?
