About curation, looking at the activity on your burn posts from the other day, that is simply not factual. Many of the largest votes came several hours after those were posted. Though I get what you are saying and why I said 50%(ish), as it will be above or below that number most likely.

While it is up to stakeholders, giving them a way they can (most likely) earn their curation rewards without worrying about the other half going to anyone seems like a great deal for them. Why help anyone else when I can pay myself in effect the entire vote value, with the other portion being burned, meaning I collected all the realized value from that vote.

Again, if everyone starts doing this, the system fails. Perhaps it's not something we should be championing?
