RE: Announcement - Curie will be sending part of the curation rewards back to authors
Well, the trailing voters already got the boost with the new split, while it is the authors of the posts we vote that lost out on a portion of their author rewards. This is why our plan is to supplement how much they get out of a Curie vote on their posts using the new increased curator rewards we receive.
Authors won't complain for getting a vote from Curie, no matter what is the reward split percentage, but when you give some extra reward to curators, trail can gain more followers
Right, but something else to consider - Curie's trail according to SteemAuto includes 2576 trailers. That is not counting all of those that trail the vote a different way. But if we are giving out 8 Steem to 2567 trailers it would be a minuscule amount of 0.00310 Steem per person. Even at the average rate of 80 posts voted by Curie in a week that is a total of just 0.248 Steem per vote trailer for the week. I doubt many would jump to trail the vote because of that with it being worth so little extra.
Of course that is just my opinion.
