I wasn't around for this but I remembered this being talked about once in the @leomarkettalk. I never really considered the misleading side of it but it does make sense that it took a lot of time before they could liquidate their earnings.
It sure looks like HIVE changed for the better as we have a longer voting period, no more reward curve and a smaller power down period.

In my early days I remember finding someone's old post that showed $2000 as the reward, later I saw the wallet barely had that in it, but couldn't find a powerdown..
The price since the post had dropped significantly
That's when I realized how almost meaningless old post reward numbers are.
