My understanding is that Curation Rewards (to late voters) would not be paid out after the first payout.
No Curation Rewards after First Payout
After the first payout on a post is made it is possible for additional payouts to be made if more votes come in later. These “late votes” will no longer qualify for curation rewards.
My assumption is that Author Rewards would still be paid. Maybe there needs to be clarification, i.e. does this mean
- Further Curator Rewards will be paid, but only to those who voted prior to the first payout?
Or - All further Rewards after the first payout go to the Author?
I would have thought the former would be the case. So latecomers contribute to the new pot but do not get any dividends.
Yes, more clarification would be helpful.
Hopefully it's your second assumption, that authors continue to get rewards for good content.
