Neither does it actually solve the problem, merely trying to confine in a space where it's impact is limited in extent.
Yeah the idea is that IF someone games the POST reward pool, comment reward pool would be unimpacted, and vice versa. It wouldn't solve the problem it would just prevent a problem in either are from bleeding over into the other.
Comments currently are way easier to get away with scamming, and if it continues it will impact your rewards and everyone else in the comment section whether it is partitioned or not, but at least if it were partitioned it wouldn't drain the post pool as well.
It also could potentially make comment rewards payout better than they currently are since there would be a guaranteed comment reward pool allocated. At the moment I don't know if the bulk of posting rewards is going to comments or to posts, but I would suspect posts are still likely where the bulk of it goes. I up vote comments commonly, but I still think most people do not.
There are also combos, like a vote timing collusion effort I once was offered participation in. The author, trending regularly, has a chatroom, where minions gather to receive advance notice of when the relevant post will air.
All the minions can time their votes so as to be before the 30 minute cutoff, after which the curation rewards are greatly diminished.
I don't know either if the bulk of author rewards goes to posts or comments, all I know I for me comments are usually more financially rewarding.
However, I often make comments that people say 'you should make a post', and then feel guilty, having made too long of a comment LOL
I need to better exemplify 'brevity is the soul of wit'.
As one of those guys who has told you to make posts out of comments.... um... you should make a post out of your comments in this thread, really. :D
I have actually made posts regarding these issues in the past.
I recently was offered something like this as well. I believe it was, if I pay them 4 Steem, they would guarantee 400 up votes. Human beings are so clever at gaming.
