RE: How to Interpret steemit's post valuations
I am trying to understand the calculation. Using the example, the payout for the thread is 8, the total payout to authors is 5.5 and the total payout to curators is 2.75. But summing up, 5.5+2.75 gives 8.25 for the thread and not 8. What am I missing?
curators only get 50% of the direct reward paid to a post, while authors also benefit from rewards paid to their children.
From a leaf post perspective, assuming it earned $10, $5 would be paid to the curator, $2.5 paid to the author, and $2.5 paid to parents. I will have to check the math again.
