RE: How to Allocate the Worlds Resources Fairly
Umm are u sure. I was not aware. I still vote on these for curation rewards.
It would really be nice if we could understand how curation works.

If you look on steemd.com for this post in advanced mode you wll see this line:
author_curate_reward 96.06%That means that due to early voting (primarily Dan's instant self-vote), 96% of what would otherwise have been curation rewards are redirected to the author. All the other curators are splitting 4% (of 25% of the post value so 1% of the post value). If you aren't one of the first voters and aren't a whale, you will be getting dust or more likely nothing at all.
You can go and study the math and the code or you can simply try to use curation rewards as they were intended. Find posts that have been active for at least 30 minutes, don't have a lot of voting, and have the potential to become popular and get voted. If you do that you will earn significant curation rewards. If you pile on to posts like this one you will not.
It is perfectly reasonable to just vote for what you like, even if you vote late and get no curation rewards. That serves to incentivize other curators following the process in the previous paragraph to find it for you and make it more visible to you.
Thank you smooth
