Since I'm a manual curator of posts and comments I'm seeing an improvement too. I didn't really grasp before that the old system didn't reward comment curators. Now seeing the difference the lightbulb has gone on. 😂
I'm not keen on a 200% upvote personally since the pros for it seem to depend on what is considered to be "good" content and that is a debate that has been raging the whole time I've been here. I'd rather people spread their curation around to more than 10 upvotes rather than fewer.

Most didn't. People would take it for granted that I and other continued voting on comments, seeing it as no big deal, but the "personal cost" (potential) was very large. For me, it would likely amount to quite a few thousand HIVE "lost" because of the curve, but I saw it as more important to reward than maximize.
I am in two minds at this point and will think more on it. What I do know is that it would be useful for some to be able to have a larger vote at times, and of course they can still split when they want. I can't imagine what it would be like to have a 100 dollar vote, let alone a 1000 dollars if it hit 10x from here to distribute. It is a massive amount of work, considering a 10% vote would be 100 dollars worth and they can do that 100x a day. How to find 100 posts worth at least 100 dollars a day?
Ah. Yes. I see what you mean. I don't really vote that way though. I'm not asking myself how much a post is worth in Hive/dollars. I vote based on how much effort was put in, how unique a post is, whether it made be laugh, made me think, taught me something etc.
The size of vote is relative to the other posts around at the time rather than to an absolute quantity. So when there are lots of great posts/comments everyone will get a bit less and vice versa.

Yes, I do mostly the same, but imagine if blocktrades or theycallmedan for example di the same as this. Even when they vote widely now, they are criticized for not being wide enough and much of what they vote on might not be personally of interest to them.
They are in the minority though so blanket changing things across the board with the whales in mind doesn't work for me. It's an interesting dilemma though.
If I was in their position I'm not sure what I'd do. That's a whole different ball game and I can see how dollar amounts start to matter more here.
Maybe there should be a maximum vote value for any one person to receive and some more creative uses for excess VP. Just thinking outloud here . . . 😂

This isn't a blanket change for the whales. It seems that small accounts are far less wide than many seem to believe. The whales are probably among the widest now. My point is, this is a dpos platform, so stake matters.
There were many complaints when the whales voted on the hbd stabiliser, which effectively took something like 3 million Hive out of circulation.
No change is ever going to make everyone happy.
True that! 😁
I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing, grateful for the increase in curation rewards.

As long as we are moving toward a general better incentive model for improved behavior, I am okay with experimenting and the odd failure.
