I see your point of view, but I think it oversimplifies things and also doesn’t account for irrational human behavior. The goal of increasing curation rewards (by changing the window from 30 to 5) is to try and incentivize more manual curation. Generally the established authors are the ones favored by bots, so the hope is that with more manual curators, the less established authors will get more attention from stakeholders. Whether that will actually happen or not remains to be seen.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The bot owners will just reprogramme their bots to vote earlier and bots will be even more profitable. At least that's what I see happening. I'd hate to have to say I told you so. lol
I realize that. I don’t see this proposal moving the needle very much. My root level comment (that we are replying to here) was actually to question the effectiveness of the change.
Really more than any code change, what we need is a culture change. I am doubtful that we can achieve it, but if the people most involved in curation think it will help, I am not really dead against it either.
I am most in line with the #1 ranked root level comment in reply to the main post by @liberosist
