RE: A Method To Combat Upvote Spam Aimed At Maximizing Curation Rewards
Erm read again the post, you can't flag curation rewards away (well ok you can but it hurts the authors more than the curation spam farm bots xD)

That's not right. The early curators only make out of there are later and generally larger curators. The later and larger curators are only getting minimal curation rewards to begin with and lose out big time if there are downvotes.
On a particular post, downvotes may not be able to do much but to the extent that the entire balance of voting behavior on the platform can be changed with downvotes (cough, bidbots, cough), then curation rewards to earlier voters go away too.
I suspect not as much as we would hope for. Suppose you front run a post that was originally a $50 post that got downvoted to $30 and your vote is worth $0.02 and near-optimally timed. Your curation rewards will still be quite good.
There is nothing wrong with identifying content that isn't voted yet, has the potential to be worth $30, upvoting it early, and getting curation rewards. That's exactly what early curators are supposed to do.
I really don't understand what problem you are trying to describe.
Not even if it's bid botted crap downvoted but not enough to take it out of Trending?
Steem (or its front ends) treat promoted content (advertisements) similarly to organic content. Other platforms have slots for advertisements interspersed with eye ball catching organic/curated content.
If it is bid botted crap and only being lightly downvoted then we aren't where we want to get (yet?).
Better than before at least.
I agree about this and have said so in other threads. We generally need more vehicles for advertising including the one you described.
