Curation Rewards before and after HF20 deployment

Checking the formidable tool created by @steemchiller , the amazing Steemworld, I am nicely surprised by the increase of my curation rewards these days after HardFork 20 deployment.

If you are an "Active Steemian" I am sure you have noticed as well...

Pre-Hardfork 20

Before HF2o I managed to get in average a non-negligible amount averaged around 0.36 SP a day, so 2.54 SP a week only by upvoting what I like.

Post-Hardfork 20

Checking the forecast for the next 7 days using the same Steemworld tool you can have an accurate idea on how much SP is coming due to curation rewards, in my case:

As you can see, I'm on my way to get almost 6 SP a week, with roughly the same Steem Power, which means 2.36 times more than before the HF20...

This is due to several factors but mainly to:

• The Rewards Pool is bigger: we are at ALL TIME HIGH in Rewards today, more than 900,000 Steem according to another amazing and useful tool Steem.supply from @dragosroua :

• There are less Post and comments: People think twice at the time to leave a non-useful comment due to the RC system now. As a consequence I have the feeling as well that there are less spam too, so, despite the dramatic deployment seems that HF20 is working as expected... But, be cautious, there are as well a decrease of the active users, since months ago... so, my impression is that the people who remains at Steem Blockchain will be the new Dolphins and Orcas of the future because they are here for the Long Term and not only because is an easy way of getting some pennies... Spammers will find other ways to keep spamming but at least now they have a stopper with the RC system...

• Also, as confirmed by @dragosroua, the HF20 causes that "self-voting in the first 15 minutes sends the curation that would have go to the author to the reward pool instead, increasing the rewards for all active members..."
  In other words, self-voting on your own post or comment in the first second produces the value of curation of 0. Self-voting after 14 minutes and 59 seconds produces a value of curation of 99%.

• As the "active members" have been decreased due, mainly, by the situation of the whole crypto market, there are less "active" curators... the ones remaining get the majority of the rewards, So YOU and ME!

The next two targets to work with are:

• Increase Attraction
• Increase Retention

...and seems we are getting closer to achieve them , not only because the SMT launching but also because there are many Dapps being build on the steem blockchain and seems that @ned and steemit-Inc are on their way to release something interesting too.
