RE: The Curation Algorithm Works to the Detriment of a Considered Upvote!
No, just that the optimum time for voting is probably somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes exactly. Late curating (after 40 minutes or so) is not hugely rewarded, as you suggest, so it does favour timely and contemporary postings over "slow burners".
That is incorrect. There is a "reverse auction", so if you vote within the first 30 minutes, you share some of your curation rewards with the poster. I.e. if you post after 1 minute, you share almost all of your curation reward with the poster. If you vote after 15 minutes, you share 50% of your reward. And if you vote anywhere from 30 minutes onward you receive 100% of the curation reward. So it usually makes sense to wait until the 30-minute mark. Although if others are already starting to vote before 30 minutes and you think many more will do the same, then it might make sense for you to do so, too. Basically, there are 2 opposing factors that you must take into account during the first 30 minutes.
