I haven’t kept track of hbdfunder rewards.

I have a spreadsheed with all of them, since it started commenting - that's where the charts came from.

Yes the same rewards they would get for voting anything else. Net zero change.

Without the benefit of 50% of that being distributed to creators - as you mention you are doing with yours quite well.

Not sure how you get that.

You were describing how much harder and more time consuming it is to vote with a $200 vote. So don't. Seems like having that much centralization of stake is having a negative impact on your experience... that's what I was getting at, from your comment.
