RE: It's Back! Fortune Cookie Fortune
Did you include higher curation rewards? You're supposed to get those. And what about rewards going to the higher rewarded content? Since most folks who end up on trending are higher SP, because they're the ones who can afford to pay the bid bots exorbitant amounts to get up there, or have the friends to circle vote, or the high self-upvote to actually make a difference, then it stands to reason that higher SP gets more rewards.
I didn't include higher curation in my calculations. Most of my votes are done at the 0 mark so I don't get curation. That will change though once the new hardfork comes out as I'd rather keep the curation than give it to the biggest earners. It's a bummer I won't be able to keep giving it to my favorite authors, but that's how things go sometimes.
Well, that's just it, something is already going to the biggest authors already, and will continue, only more so. I've watched the amount I've been rewarded shrink. At first I thought it was because of the fluctuations of STEEM, and impart, it is, but there's the additional redistribution of what's been allocated to my posts going somewhere. So, no matter what we do, it's going to those with the most rewards.
With most things in life the rich just get richer. The main way I see that changing here is by the richest cashing out and the rewards being redistributed to those who are more inclined to helping the community grow. As it is, I don't see that happening.
I'm ok with part of the post rewards going to curation, but having some of that go to those who get the highest post rewards (by whatever means) is frustrating for sure.
