Don't know. Perhaps they assumed the author deserved more of the cut than the upvoters. It was just before I arrived.
I've previously suggested moving back to 50/50 as a solution to the self upvoting epidemic.
I think the fact that we are thinking about moving back to something that was previously abandoned is a big red flag and we should consider all the possible ways our suggestions could backfire. Hardfork 19 had some goals and was supposed to remedy some problems and now we are talking about fixing some of the unintended consequences of that.
Sure. But it's not only about being smart, it's about learning from your mistakes. If we are going to talk about reverting to something that was abandonded in the past, it's of paramount importance to learn why it was abandoned as the problems it was thought to be causing back then might very well reappear with it being introduced back into the system.
This is indeed an issue I'm developing a passion about and this type of thing is something we have seen in the past and I did write about it about two weeks ago - The Cobra Effect. In my opinion, we should not consider any changes before we have spent considerable time and effort on thinking about what could go wrong because of the change we are advocating.

We're still in beta; I'm confident that the guys smart enough to invent this place are also smart enough to keep it on track:)

Couldn't agree more.
