I understand that situation, yes - though I don't have any real world data on it. I was just thinking that a significant increase in the amount of curation rewards available would lead to a variety of attempts to focus on gaming this aspect of the system. Hopefully people find it pointless and do real curation instead - we shall see!

Sort:  

People will go where the money is sure. Some will focus on gaming this aspect but that offers a benefit to everyone else when the rewards are returned to the pool. Early votes on known-payout content reduces the effective curation rewards there from the nominal 50% and makes looking for lesser-known high-potential content (where you can still get the full 50% or close) more attractive to others. Specialization is inevitable.
