RE: Curation: Now and to come

Dear @tarazkp
Let me quote one comment I've read yesterday:
We appreciate the fact, that you're trying to fight with so called snipers.
Unfortunatelly, those changes may cause huge damage to HIVE blockchain. All we can see is that curators who would upvote post older than 24h would be penalized.
Quite often we curate post which are 3-4 days old and we upvote those which we consider valuable and having low payout. This won't be the case any more (?).
Those are valid concerns. Based on what you wrote above: who would decide to vote on posts older than 24hours?
The way I see it is that hardly anyone would place an upvote on post which is older than that. And we usually only read posts which we're planning to upvote. And if we do not read a post - then we do not comment.
So at the end of the day: window to visit, comment and upvote posts would be shortened from 7 days to 1 day only. And it surely isn't good for PH. Because it would also mean, that if I won't manage to support your content within those 24hours - then I won't be able to do it at all (in that case many of our posts would end up having close to no rewards).
I really hope to be wrong. Perhaps I understand that 24h window wrongly....
Yours, Piotr
The same people who are voting now on posts?
If you are curation activities for your "initiative" are done to maximize your curation returns, it probably isn't going to be good for you. If it is to reward valuable content, it likely is going to be good for you.
Thank you for your prompt reply @tarazkp
I still wonder how many curators would actually upvote content after that 24h window, knowing that their curation rewards would be simply higher if they focus on posts published within that window.
Assumption that people will be upvoting posts older than that because they want to reward valuable content may be not valid in my opinion.
Time will show. I still hope I'm wrong and Im curious to see how will it all play out.
Cheers, Piotr
Not many upvote after 24h now.
The rewards in eachtime bucket will likely be better than most people are getting now after 5 minutes on anything that has already had even a small amount of voting on it. But, since you are looking to maximize, I am guess you are maximizing already, so it might hurt you. However, if no one has voted on the content in the first 24 hours, the second period becomes the first. So, I am guessing you will still be able to have content that is not voted and increase your curation after the first 24h.
I think however that you are focusing on the wrong part of it - but I suspect that the most important thing for you at this time is curation ROI.
It depends if the content got votes within 24 hours. If it didn't get any (or many), then voting in the second window is essentially the same as voting in the first. So there is no loss of incentive to curate content that got missed in the first 24 hours.
The incentive does drop to pile on more votes on something already heavily voted in 24 hours. That may be good or bad, people probably have different views on this.
