One trend I've noticed is top curator curation rewards are lower. No one earned more than 3 Steem / 1000 which means curation rewards are being more widely distributed. Maybe more people changed auto vote to 5min from 15 so the early adopters aren't gaining so much? Or maybe the bot farms are being destroyed?
Did some of the higher earners ask to be removed from your list because their curation isn't um something they want people to notice?
They have certainly lowered since the fork last year, I wrote a post using the EL stats to show that, at least here, CR rewards are bunching up.
I don’t usually take any out but have done on occasion, but could be that SP is moving around and so some you would expect to see didn’t appear this time.
Thanks for clearing that up. It's just an interesting observation. I do think that if and when Steem goes to the moon, curation rewards will be easier to earn than author rewards because it is a more steady income. So it is interesting to see this decline for some of the people who were doing the best.
