RE: The seed of self-upvoting was sowed more than 12 months ago, hf19 just watered it.
I didn't know there was ever a 50/50 split with curators. That must have been changed pretty soon after the launch. I'm not so sure I agree that a return to 50/50 is a good idea. Without content creators, there is nothing to curate. Creating content requires more time and effort than consuming and curating, so I'd say a 75/25 split is more appropriate as it is reflective of that fact.
I'll take 50% in an atmosphere of frenzied upvoting over 75% in this barren wasteland.
It's a smaller slice but a bigger pie ;)
It was changed a couple of months after launch, slightly before the first payout (July 4, 2016). But in fact the change was much greater. Early votes reduce curation rewards further (the so-called reverse auction), so in effect the split is more like 88/12 (estimated number from a few months ago; might be slightly different now but it is clearly more lopsided than 75/25).
Great point smooth. Thanks for chiming in.
