I thought that curation was still affected by future votes but then I started researching and found out that there's no curation but your own 50% if all votes are earlier than 24h? (@hiveio/hive-hardfork-25-is-on-the-way-hive-to-reach-equilibrium-on-june-30th-2021)
and that's like a 5 year old post. I'm so outdated on this.
There are some extra rewards only if ppl start voting after 24h. Say a bunch of voters come and vote between 24/48h, they won't be getting 50% back but 25%, and the other 25% will go into the curation pool, but that's after 24h when most ppl have voted. Then at around 72% it'll be 12.5% they're getting, the rest going into the pool.
So that's good but it only applies for mostly frontpage posts that get votes after 24h and before 7 days have passed.
I'm not entirely sure what to do now. I made a script that simply votes for frontpage stuff but I'm not sure I wanna use it. It's the best economic strategy but it's very weird.
We'll see!
