I think it is a timing thing. If they upvote in the 25 minute to 30 minute timeframe, then they get a bigger cut (I think). If they waited longer, the author retains more, but the voters get a smaller portion for voting later. There is some sort of formula behind it all, and I am no expert, but this should be the general idea.

I think it's the opposite. The rewards are split 75% author 25% curator. But if the curator votes within the first 30 minutes, some of their curation award goes to the author as well. So early voting helps the author. Late voting helps the curator. In order to maximise awards to himself, the curator wants to vote as close to the 30 min mark but before a whale does. If a whale votes first, then the whale gets most of the curator awards.
Ok, that could be correct... but what were they talking about pertaining to bot voting then and how it affects rewards?
