I get what you are saying @smooth. But my question is how would you view my investment being a dedicated human curator who votes daily for his 106 day straight? My account value is what a full time curator would earn botless. What we need is a solid base of human curators and bots in my opinion are taking these funds right out from under the human curators only to distribute them to authors they privy. We need your help to grow curators which in turn give more value to authors. Giving to authors is great but we need a solid base of voters to promote rewards that grow steadily. $100-$1000 articles are killing us. We need rewards like $1-50 so that the value of rewards can grow in time and be more distributed to more authors.
