RE: This has been a demonstration of optimal posting strategy under Hardfork 20.
Ah, I think I understand that. So they are removing the author's share of curation during the first minutes the post is live.
Of course that's a bit circular since the rewards pool goes in large part to the author anyways.
It might do something to slightly curb bid bot usage since (aside from minnowbooster) they don't adjust the vote value to account for curation.
Smartmarket also does, in fact they're better at it than MB is. But yes, the actual bidbots require you to do any curation math yourself, and I suppose making the curation math harder might hurt their market a tiny bit. But what I see on the various support forums is that there are a ton of users who aren't that sophisticated and judge whether the bot's vote size is enough for them by completely nonsensical criteria.
I guess bot users losing money is just a second-order version of the same effect.
