Nice to hear you don't use a bot. It was difficult to tell with you because it could have just been (and probably was) the way things averaged out....or you're telling porkies ;)

It makes sense that the bot powered whales are upvoting more. Perhaps that's a good metric to determine if someone is a bot - I can imagine bots upvote more than regular users (and also never post articles). At the same time, I literally just looked at the images to compare them. I wanted to add the total count to each plot, but I'd already generated them and took 30 mins - laziness won. :)

Nice to hear that you hold back on large reward posts. I think a lot of users will be happy to hear that.

You did get my vote nevertheless ;)

I could be telling porkies of course but that doesn't come natural to me so I don't :) My curation rewards probably would've been way higher had I used a bot in any way, and being sick like I was for the last 3-4 days would not have made such a big impact.

I'm fine with the lesser rewards though, and to be honest  I feel the system is a bit too skewed towards whale curators at the moment. Us whales working hard to optimize our curation rewards will not help with the distribution issue, so I prefer to take a relaxed attitude towards it.
