RE: Steem Experiments: do small early votes still change the curation amount?
I figured they would still apply. After all, even if it's only a small amount, it's still taking something. That's cool you're able to run these tests for real.
I'm tempted to do one that's botted up just to show how effective even a 1c vote can be. The curation algorithm is weighted really heavily toward the first voter, and that's going to become more obvious once that's not the author the vast majority of the time.
Well, the bigger players and those who are buying a lot of votes to get to the top of trending will probably still self-vote right away.
I wonder if there's a strategy where you would upvote someone's post to attack them. Hmm. I wonder if that means the larger accounts are going to start upvoting many people at 0 minutes with a small vote so more of the overall rewards go to the rewards pool (themselves, in other words). Or is that too convoluted?
