RE: Elimination of Curation Rewards
I'd go in reverse, removal than adjustments, but I do agree that they shouldn't happen at the same time.
I think the bigger problem isn't how the rewards are distributed, it's the fact the motivation of each voter comes from the desire to earn a reward. It seems almost like a conflict of interest. I want popular/trending content on the site to be elevated because people find it interesting, not because they believe it will provide them with the greatest reward.
When considering the act of voting, you shouldn't be considering yourself, you should be considering only the content on which you're voting.
That's what I believe at least :)
Whatever you think which one is bigger, I think both of them are big problems ;)
Good comment! I just wanted to make the observation that people are going to think of themselves when voting anyways, even if what they are thinking is that they could later be asked to justify the vote because it can be traced back to them.
