RE: How much of the rewards get distributed by boosters ?
Bots can't be blamed on linear rewards, I don't think. Another aspect you should include is how much is added to the post, after the bot votes. You might have to control for those votes that also followed the author, but I think it would be closer to 25 or 30% of the pool. But, why were the payouts so low in that 24 hour window, anyway?
Linear rewards are actually the fuel for bid bots. The most profitable use of SP since the introduction of linear rewards is to either self-vote OR to lease-out SP to bid bots. With n square it was curating popular content.
Okay i can agree with that from a minnow perspective, but for the bot owners thus would always have been most profitable, no risk, all reward. That's my biggest problem with it. It rob s the rewards pool, then moves the profits of that heist behind the scenes where it can't be downvoted.
