RE: How to win at curation rewards and lose at Steem
The overall % of the curation reward doesn't change as far as I can tell.
The only time I have seen vote farmers earning less is when the sniper is the sole "other" voter in the scenario. Otherwise, the sniper just gets the bigger share of the 25% allocation and the author is more or less unaffected. Of course, these "authors" tend to be voting for themselves with more than one account anyhow.
You're right, the overall % of curation rewards does not change. The author earns exactly 75% of the sum of vote values while all curators together get up to 25%. I was assuming (without explicitly saying, sorry) that the larger voter and the author are the same person/account/group. In that case, the author share is slightly increased by the curation snipers, but the curation share of author and large voter together can be reduced by more than this value.
