RE: Bloggers: Would you mind sharing 50/50 with those that upvote you?
Yes, the 50/50 bot on Golos is still operating, but is less popular now, because some more sofisticated services came.
The most powerful one, which has accumulated about 10 million Golos Power, allows you to send any amount of Golos or GbG to it along with the % of this amount you are willing to give to the services investors. The curation trail then votes with GP according to this data.
There's sort of auction, the trail votes for submissions with biggest % suggested for investors first. While people are saying that you have some chanse to get an upvote with 60% for curators in the middle of the night, the average figures are more like 85-90% for curators.
The most popular idea on Golos now is to embrace this system, allowing for authors individually to set any % for curators . There's an old and long Github issue about it.
Thank you for the update.
