Yes that is correct. I volunteered to help out and test a new system after reading a post about what I read to be an interesting enhancement to curation, it involves me receiving less curation too. Funnily enough I didn't even see the potential downside or the fact that liquefied rewards could be removed immediately but then I guess others see scams where I see innovation.
I understand your community has a stance on this, and am even somewhat understanding of your reasons
I had never factored in the idea of maximizing curation, I didn't realise that for some apparently it is a almost an Olympic sport. Such unpalatable strategy is something I have never even contemplated.
BUT now I feel like I NEED to respond to this message as you have chosen to place it on my post which could perhaps raise a question or implication regarding my integrity. I'm sure you can understand this?
To anybody who follows me, I feel I should mention that I have never ever taken a cent from any community I have been involved with, only time funds have ever left my account is to sponsor contests, send gifts in lieu of tips or to donate to causes of chain.
I am not the slightest bit concerned at having lost out on the curation. I used to spend 4 or 5 hours on posts at times when I knew that something in the region of 3 cents would be my reward, I write because I have something to say or share, what rewards may come are welcome but I hope the day never comes when I use a spreadsheet to maximise my rewards.
TL;DR
Now I researched, I understand your stance, whether I like it or not is irrelevant.
I have had support from @curangel several times in the past for which I'm grateful and so have no hard feelings.
All my rewards are always powered up or donated.
Take care and hive five!
