hi @photocuration, yes, I understand your concern. the average $1 value is set to make sure all delegators have a decent return for their delegation. Due to the nonlinear reward system in HIVE, the return for a low value post will be very low, which is not sustainable to pay interest to delegators. In turns what we can do to change that is I will spend as much time as I can to do manual vote.
