RE: When do whales upvote relative to publication time?
@wang is the outlier in the data set as the only whale that upvotes more during the first 30 minutes, especially the first 15 minutes, than at any other time. This means @wang forfeits its own curation reward, giving post authors an extra boost. @wang has one of the worst reputations on steemit, yet gives the most back in terms of curation reward.
I feel bad for @wang - he was the first bot that welcomed most people and the data shows he was actually attempting to give something back to the authors too.
I don't think @wang is really thinking of other users, it's just the method the bot writer chose to try and maximise curation rewards. The effect of which is that the curation reward is split with the author. From an author's perspective, compared to other bots, it's certainly better. I agree that @wang's reputation is a bit extreme considering other bots out there.
Yes that's what I meant. The operator obviously considered this and decided to be more altruistic than the others but the reputation is not consistent with that.
