RE: So, You want to change the reward pool?
The first change being discussed is to put some of the curve back into the reward pool
So basically, people with the money to pay for loads of voting bots (who are currently boosting their own posts up to $100) will get even more benefit at the cost of people trying to be 'fair and honest'.
Increase Curation Rewards, by giving a larger percentage of the stake to voters instead of posters.
And with this, voting bots will gain an even bigger income, giving everyone even less incentive to do their own work.
Wow, how many bad mistakes can one make?
Resteeming this for more attention.
I didn't actually think through how the bidbots would be impacted if they are impacted at all. I actually think the impact would be on the autovoters.
Something I've never used. If these changes go through, and I don't know how likely this is, it will probably be the end of my manual curation. I'll just pick a few friends to upvote and put my energy elsewhere.
Hmm, I've been using a combination of the two for a while now. I use autovote on a few authors for two reasons: I feel they are under appreciated, or they have shown me a lot of support through many thoughtful comments and I want to return some of the love. Most of these auto votes are around 20% strength, so I have plenty left for manual curation.
I don't always have time to go through my feed and there are some people I feel deserve my support even when I don't have time. Whenever I do have time though, I go through my feed to find good posts to upvote. After that, I check out the rest of Steemit to find good posts elsewhere.
I like doing it like this, because it means I'm never at 100% VP, which would feel like a waste. I'd rather support a few people automatically so my VP gets put to good use.
I don't think this would change if they do implement these changes. I still want to have VP left to upvote random posts I enjoy.
