What's the point of having unclaimed rewards?
What's the point of having to click a button to claim rewards rather than just automatically getting the rewards?
Monkey doesn't like pushing extra buttons!
No but seriously is there an actually point to it?
From a post that I read this is a way of speeding up the blockchain transactions.
Claim Rewards - The New Button on Steemit Just Shown Up To Me!
A bot or third party app could easily bypass that by running a script that calls the claim reward function once every 5mins or so.
It is silly, but also kinda fun. "Click Button For Money!"
A button the user clicks seems like a rather crude way of accomplishing this.
In a way it empowers the user to decide when they accept the rewards.
