A case for eliminating curation rewards

in steem •  8 years ago 

SP holders who don't curate are losing about 8% annually, but if they curate, it will decrease to around 4~6%.

financially speaking, the 3% difference is just too small to justified the time and effort invested.

IMO, the psychological satisfaction sometimes weight much more to a curator than any financial rewards.

and I'm agree with @snowflake in his point that, the increase in platform-quality and thus the value of SP could eventually benefits SP-holders more.

I agree. I am just playing devil's advocate. You can find that I already suggested this argument last month and got a huge backlash.

But there's no significant efforts and time if one is using bots.

Exactly.... that's the main reason why curation reward should be removed.

curator who don't use bot will probably get much less than 1%, so the curation reward is actually penalizing those who perform good curation manually.

I agree with most of your comment but I don't think this conclusion is certain:

the increase in platform-quality .
