"Parabolic growth"? Please, explain.

At this moment ( soon to be changed - on tuesday to be exact ) the rewards get calculated with rshares².

No, no. Please explain why other upvotes change how much I get from randowhale?

Because, the power of votes get squared to calculate the rewards. ( n^2 )

Explain it like I am a five-year-old.

The author gets 75%, curators get 25%. How are the rewards for the author and curators then calculated? Do you have a link to this information, it's quite interesting.

It's not like:

more votes -> more reward

but

more votes -> more rewards * more rewards

OK (although a link to this info in the white paper would be good).

However, how does this change the income we will get from randowhale? As an author, you will still get 75% of what is listed as the payout on your article.
