The rewards curve is changing. We expect posts that would make more than 20 STEEM under the old rules to earn more after the changes. Those posts that would have made less than 20 STEEM under the old rules will receive less after the changes.
I'm expecting for bidbot owners to benefit from this HF.
It's more likely to make people question why they will be using them honestly. Since the bot will be getting more of the reward now if you pay them to vote for you. So technically they will be losing money on every bid. Unless the post gets popular.
Users will be losing 15% of the vote worth from bots now. So the bots will have to lower the cost of their votes. Because a 15% loss is not worth it.
Unless bitbots owners will pay them back with the curation they receive or even utilize a token as a payback of Value 🤷🏼♂️

Good point. Let's see how the community reacts/responds.
Here's another guess. There will be lesser accounts who will be posting.
(No longer part of the guess: The lesser the posts, hopefully the more effective the curation/curators will be)
Small bots will suffer, large bots will thrive. And as for smaller fish, delegating becomes more profitable than using the stake individualy, larger bots will have no problem geting more cheap delegations to grow even bigger..
If they don't change their rules, yes; @swiftcash will change its rule to keep bought upvotes profitable for buyers with a minimum of +1% return of their money.
