RE: HF20 Exploratory Data Analysis on Proposed PayOut Changes
This is incorrect. It applies to all of the curation rewards that are currently going to the author, who will now be capped at 75%. See https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1874
Ah thanks - the blog posting was not worded very well on the steemit blog - it seemed like they were talking about just making it so you don't earn curation from self vote, and returning that specifically to reward pool. Which seems like the best solution - early votes by others (not the author) should still increase the % of total post payout that goes to author, while curation reward from an author's own early self vote should go to reward pool. I still strongly disagree with your proposal to just return all of it to the curation reward pool of the post in question, as that would incentivize other users to vote on posting that has large self votes to get a share of that extra curation $ - we don't want to encourage people to upvote posting that already has huge self votes. That is still incentivizing self voting.
Then bot votes and dummy account votes would still count and the change would be essentially meaningless.
That's not my actual proposal, by the way, it's just one of several simplified methods that would serve better than what they've implemented. Mine is here, and avoids that problem.
