RE: A case for eliminating curation rewards
20-30% really? do you have any stats or something i can check? Because when i look at the voting paterns all i see is a few votes before 30 min, then the bulk of all votes come at 30 min and then only a few votes after that and occasionnaly i see post with another round of bots after 30 min which will add a lot of votes. I also regularly check posts that biophil's bot is voting on and it has this exact pattern, about 90 votes comes in at 30 min, then hardly any votes after that.
I think what would be interesting to know also is what percentage of the curation rewards are earned by bots..
clayop and someone else did a study a week or two ago and came up with that number. it can only be approximated because nobody knows exactly which accounts are bots but it isn't surprising when you look at most of the top stakeholder and curator accounts by amount, most are not bots, they are either human curators or guilds (blocktrades, val, michael, dan, abit, ned, etc). You are paying too much attention to number of votes, and yes there are many small bot accounts/votes, but that isn't what matters.
I didn't noticed you were talking about stake voting, Id argue stake voting is not really the metric to look at because as you said it's only a few individuals. I was refering to 90% of the people. The amount of users using bots is what's important and i would say it's very close to my numbers.
