I'm not a dolphin (but I will be soon as I'm buying up with these cheap prices) but I've already noticed an increase in curation rewards which is encouraging for me as I do spend a lot of time on the platform and have been in the top 20 engagement league for the last 2 months so interacting DOES pay as well.

I don't know where you got your graph from so maybe you can clarify that?

Maybe because I've been manually curated a few times by c-squared, curie, travelfeed, dsound and a few others I feel more positive about it.

It's not even been 24 hours yet so we'll see how it is after a month whilst the dust settles :)
