Hello, dear @steemitblog. As much as you’re doing a good job to spread good rewards and encourage students to keep participating in the steemit crypto academy, I respectfully think you’re doing a shitty job right now with the rewards. The steemcurator02 account at this very moment I am writing this comment is voting students with voting power of 77%, myself being one of these students. Looking at the current price of STEEM coupled with the low voting power of the steemcurator02 account, even a 20% upvote only gives a student around a $15 vote. Reward for assignment that takes days and sometimes even a week to do. This is even assuming the student scores a 10/10 mark.

The aggrieving part is that half of this reward is expected to be powered up leaving the student only the other half to use to solve their cashflow problems. As much enthused as we are to learn here, I believe many will agree with me that the rewards incentivizes students to put in their best and work hard. The students are talking and if this is not revised or given attention, I fear that there will be lesser and lesser participants in the academy over the coming weeks and I think we all can agree that that won’t be good for anyone.

This is merely my suggestion which you can choose to ignore at your discretion, but I believe it will be best if steemcurator stepped in to help with the curation. At least a 20% upvote from sc01 will reward a student more than the same percentage upvote from sc02, and the two curators can even take turns curating when one’s voting power is drained. The students of the crypto academy loves the academy and want to keep studying in this environment. But most of us are fr countries suffering financially and this, steemit, the crypto academy is how we make ends meet. Like I said, you can ignore this, but please, do consider this. Thank you
