RE: Curation rewards are extremely low, only bots are willing to work for pennies/hour

in #curation • 8 years ago (edited)

I never understood the purpose of the 'timing' either.
seems to me it should be like a book store...if you see something you like, buy it. Then the author eventually get's paid.
Right now more time is spent on strategy and tactics attempting to 'game' the system than on actually (gasp) reading stuff.

I know that because I've made posts that would take a LONG time to view...and yet it got votes almost instantly.

    I understand why they would put a 30 min delay because the earlier you curate the more rewards you get so it makes sense to put this delay so that bots can't be first every time, however I don't understand why would the curators rewards % decrease when bots upvote a post before the 30 min mark.

      I always thought anyone could make some good money if they put some time and effort curating but this is absolutely not the case.

      If you check the list of most effective curators you could see that humans still can compare with bots )

      Thanks I was looking for these stats. Do you know how the curation score is calculated ?

        I think it's described here, but they might have made some changes
