It does remove the cognitive load of trying to time the votes. Popular authors are setup for autovotes from big accounts anyway but with this change it will be difficult to front-run them. With the change to the rewards curve smaller accounts will have two options: either set earlier autovotes and forfeit on curation or vote on other not so popular posts and also lose some rewards with the non-linear portion of the new curve. Intuitively it seems to me that bot voting will have an advantage. I will give you guys the benefit of the doubt until we have enough data to analyze the change in behaviour that this adjustment will produce. Thanks for the explanation.
