RE: HF20 Exploratory Data Analysis on Proposed PayOut Changes
Another is that it will be possible to aggressively remove rewards from a post (and discourage future votes by sophisticated voters) by upvoting it immediately.
Isn't this what the self-votes at 1 minute are doing at present with regards to the curation that can be earned by others voting on the post?
I tend to avoid voting on posts voted in the first minute, particularly by larger voters.
It is, but right now authors like that because the extra money goes to them. The change will make it so authors dislike it, and will want to discourage people from upvoting them early.
You're the example case here: right now, authors are fine with your vote being discouraged, because of the way the extra curation is distributed. But in HF20, the fact that you are discouraged from voting will mean something to them, because they get the same from every vote no matter when it's cast. So getting a minute-zero vote and not yours is worth less to them than getting that same vote at minute fifteen and also yours later.
Which means that they'll want every vote to come in at fifteen or later if at all possible.
It will also discourage the REAL curators as their VP will be spent for the reward pool instead of the authors they curate as the content was of high quality
