Tweaking curator rewards algorithm for better content discovery

I actually think the weighting for activity should be much lower. (I assume activity means voting). Like 0.15 or even lower at 0.005. Otherwise automation is too lucrative, and a recklessness for curation is perpetuated.

Thanks for reading. I think it's hard to know just what is an appropriate % for activity and comments. Maybe as time passes, we'll have a better idea.

but I think what is most important is to have a variable %, depending on how established the poster is. A whale poster does not need any curation, and the community gets no value from curating whales. Thus the activity % should be extremely low, and most of the value go to the poster themselves.

This also discourages automating voting on whales.

But for unestablished posters, proper curation should be rewarded, I think. It will allow more hidden gems to be found.
