After discussion with the witnesses, it was decided to apply the “vote dust” shift to all votes equally. Each vote that is cast will be shifted down by about 1.219 SP. This effectively establishes a “baseline” voting strength that applies to everyone, while still maintaining a linear rewards curve for votes above the baseline. This way even large Steem Power holders won’t be able to profit from casting countless inconsequential votes.
Few words...
I think this will create a sort of iniquity.
The splitting up of big upvote is better of a 100% upvote to a lucky author (Perhaps his friend).
Agreed. But I am unsure of the numbers here.
My 1% vote at around 18,000 SP is worth 4 cents. Is 4 cents not enough to gain some curation rewards in almost all cases, even if it is 0.001?
It's not that I wish for any curation with that vote weight, I just choose to share my vote out.
If it is now even more profitable curation-wise not to do this, are we not likely to see less votes going out to newer members?
You said reflects my own thoughts precisely.
