Reply to 50% Author / 50% Curator Rewards Changes

@ajayyy, regarding your comment:

This could lead to people just setting up bots to vote on posts they know will receive a large vote later such as these.

I agree, one of my concerns is the pile-on effect by users that won't know better about the changes to the linear curve as likely the frontend won't show anything about that. Centralisation of curation might be a negative side effect, I remember the old days where everyone used to just vote sirwinchester because he was gauranteed to have many voters so his posts were a no-brainer to earn good curation by front-running the rest, not saying his posts weren't of value, he made some good public contributions to Steem, just showing the mindset, even the media spoke of the pile-on effect of voting when Steem was new.
