Under the current system, someone who votes with redfish or minnow status is lucky to get 10% of their vote values returned, while the whales enjoy 120% or more of their vote values returned in curation. How is that even remotely fair? Hopefully that kind of inequity gets fixed in the next HF.
Curation should NOT be complicated. If you are supposed to get 50% back, then make it so! Don't say it is so, but in reality skew the algorithm to favour the whale votes and rob the little votes. And if all votes had a set value (not determined by cumulative vote values), the idea of voting for trending posts is removed. Fixing these voting issues will do wonders for adoption.
