RE: Reminder: 50% curation rewards also go to bid bots, self-voters and other non-curators
Solid summary! I had been meaning to crunch the numbers for these various scenarios -- but I got tired so I'm glad you took a look. Not a very significant shakeup -- that's for sure.
Kinda makes me think that the original "Promote Post" button on Steemit that sent the paid STEEM to @null is a bit closer to figuring out a reasonable solution. I'd be surprised if someone suddenly figured out a minor tweak to the "formula" that suddenly makes things less desireable for bidbots to be operated.
Probably gonna have to be a front-end solution if/when userbase gets large enough to actually compete w/ bidbot owners.
Unfortunately, there's no simple formula. The whole Steem system needs a fundamental rethink and overhaul.
I suggested almost a year ago to make the promoted page the front page, removing the excuse for using bidbots for promotion. That single change would propel the promotion feature in the place it was always deserving for: the homepage of the most visited front end, it would increase the demand for SBD and make blasting bidbots and their customers with flags acceptable.
