our payout should be the same regardless of what others do.
this is not a curation system - it is a braindead staking system.
the ordering of votes was supposed to reward curators, and the reverse auction would diminish overall % of post payout into curation rewards on larger accounts as more and more people delve into those first 30 minutes (originally) then 5 minutes (after people forgot the point) and now 0 (possible aneurysm levels of misunderstanding) I do not think this solves any problems of the systems that came before it other than to offer the sentiment of "something changed" to anyone that didn't like or understand it, but again, I would love to be wrong about it, since if I'm wrong it could only mean good things - currently I see nothing positive about "we deleted one of the smartest innovations of the entire blockchain instead of improving it"
