This is a hard one :) I certainly get the gamification element as people really like to get rewards - so we want to make sure they see it by allowing them to claim the rewards manually.

On the other hand hand yep, it's tedious but my vote would go to allowing users to auto-claim on the frontend level (wallet.hive.blog).

Alternatively, if we would remove claiming rewards, I would suggest giving the the "rewards received info" text (in the wallet history) different color / style to emphasize that this is something special / cool :)
