definitely not disagreeing with that - I just fail to see the logic in the change in reward curve which seems to me to work exactly counter to benefits from flagging. Posts that get large bid bot votes are getting 25%+ more reward under the new curve... so flags have to remove that extra 25%+ to even get back to the beginning point of the old curve.

I cant say I'm a fan of the new curve, the 45/45 + 10 + down-vote pool might have been better. It's alienating a lot of smaller accounts.

yes I totally agree. One interesting thing is that even a post with 100 steem payout under the new curve (currently less than $20 payout) is getting something like 15%(ish) more compared to the old curve... and that post is not going to show up on trending to get flag blasted. If the net effect of these changes is fewer shite bid bot posts on top of trending, but more reward for bid bot posts on aggregate and even more incentive to use bid bots as an author to boost your post up far enough on the curve to gain more reward... is it a win?
