I appreciate you Acidyo!!
Here's an ultra condensed Tl;Dr for you:
The weekly Splinterlands Art Contest awards winners Hive Upvotes and Rebellion Packs.
The same people who win almost every week... never power anything up, ship it off to Binance or other exchanges and don't even have Spellbooks but are winning Rebellion Packs (which are pretty rare and $4/pack)
It was my favorite weekly contest but it is 99% Extraction :'(
Edit: Important update for you, specifically - same thing is happening with Holozing Art Posts
Second edit: I kept their accounts anonymous because maybe they are using the money to pay rent or feed their families... but I wanted the data out there for the Hive Community as well as Splinterlands/Holozing Communities
No surprises there, and if it helps whatsoever, I can tell you that we have quite a flexible/adjusted curation, both in ocd and zingtoken based on activity and hive price. For instance you may notice @zingtoken often votes on @hbd.funder which pretty much means no author rewards go out for those. Naturally we wanna reward people a bit extra after hive 2-3x'd but I feel like more projects should adjust how much they give out during price fluctiations or at times like these when there hasn't really been much new users coming in (yet, I hope). This way those that were here during the low's and stayed staked "win" a lot more than those constantly extracting cause else it means they can just extract more value now when price is doing better.
Anyway, don't wanna defend some users' extraction or anything, it's quite weird how active some are in the community but hold no tokens or alpha vials for instance and a bit sad considering how much rewards they may have made, but I assume the same happens everywhere and curator's should definitely adjust votes based on how active that author is socially, how vested they are and providing value in different ways other than just posting and going afk potentially on other accounts, etc.
So yeah, while you're right it's definitely something we're at least trying to improve on so it doesn't become too bad and I hope more project's would care about that too.
Honestly though, on a positive note.. this research project has made me genuinely curious about Holozing :)
Going to check that out asap!
use my ref if you haven't registered yet ;P (fair launch and stuff so even as the founder using ref link is nice haha)

WHAT!!!
@jfuji is on your Design Team!!!
They were in my Guild "Bitcoin & Brews" for a long time!! They're awesome!!
Haha yeah he helped out quite a bit in the beginning, hopefully more in the future when we need his scope again!
I am going to ask one last question and I dare not ask it on the Holozing Blog or Discord...
How do you "Play" the game? I don't see an option... or do you need to get Vials/Monsters/Stuff first?
Indeed! Parenthood has taken over most of my free time but I still keep tabs on Hive-world ;)
Congrats!!!
You got it!
Cheers! 😃
It's one of the things I've bought with posting rewards. Alpha vial 😍 yes come join the club!
PS. Does splinterlands at least buy the packs they give away? (I'm guessing they do)
we had a zing giveaway today for instance but made sure to buy them up rather than just issuing new tokens to use for that which affects those holding and earning.
I believe (but may be mistaken) they are part of the packs given to the DAO to do what they please with (earmarked for this sort of thing)
For once.. I did read it!
