You can claim rewards automatically every 2 hours on Hive.Vote website. Just Enable the option 🙂

Perhaps the developers didn't want to record multi micropayments on the chain. For example, millions of comments get 0.001 rewards, if you claim them so you will make a transaction on the chain. I guess more transactions on the chain slower it becomes.

Unfortunately, the experience for new users is not good because they need to learn how to claim their rewards.

I propose the option that developers modify the code to claim rewards every 2 hours automatically.
