I understand the need for the shift to the subscription model, but alas, it's not going to be viable for me. I go for a quality-over-quantity approach to posting, so it's highly unlikely that the Qurator autovotes will pay for themselves.
I will remain a member and continue to use @qustodian, which is a better model for the kind of posting I do!
Hello, you can still upvote Qurator's posts for higher Tier like you do now. We kept this option for members that do not post on a daily basis.
Glad Qustodian is able to help too :)
My upvotes aren't worth $0.03 yet, but maybe if I score a deal on an SP lease it'll become an option!
For T1 it is either way $0.03 or 100%. So your vote will still count.
If you can delegate 100SP (T1) it will add up to your votes and give Tier 2.
Ah, that's... not what the tier updates post says. (EDIT: Oh, I see. It's in the detailed description here, but not the summary block. Oy.)
So the only real change on May 1 is that the minimum upvote less than 100% goes up from $0.01 to $0.03... and you have the option of a Steem-per-month subscription?
Why is this such a big deal, again?
This is the full T1 and T2 update post here with all the changes that will start in May. The Tier update is still running on the "old" rules until the end of April.
Basically yes. The minimum $ per upvote changed. Before it was 0.01 for both Tiers. Now it is 0.03 (or 100%) for T1 and 0.05 for T2.
plus added subscription option.
