RE: The seed of self-upvoting was sowed more than 12 months ago, hf19 just watered it.
It was changed a couple of months after launch, slightly before the first payout (July 4, 2016). But in fact the change was much greater. Early votes reduce curation rewards further (the so-called reverse auction), so in effect the split is more like 88/12 (estimated number from a few months ago; might be slightly different now but it is clearly more lopsided than 75/25).
Great point smooth. Thanks for chiming in.
