Ok guys, there is something seriously wrong with the curation rewards. https://steemit.com/curation/@snowflake/why-curation-guilds-are-essential-to-the-future-of-steemit
I have been through hundred's of posts and the very large majority of them ( 98%+) only allocate about 3% of the payout amount to curation. This is what 
It changes the % allocated because curation reward is dependent on stake. If a good amount of stake donates curation rewards with votes before 30 minutes, it means more curation rewards in total will be donated to the post author.
This is my answer
What is the purpose of this rule? I don't get it.
Curation rewards should be a fixed percentage of the total payouts and people who find good content early should be rewarded but i really don't see the point of the rule you mentionned?
Good curators should be able to make a living of curation..with many post getting 3% curation rewards no one but bots is going to invest their time curating.
The curation rewards is the whole reason why people buy steem power, its also the only way for most people to actually participate in the system, why the heck would you pay curators only 3% of a payout's post?
Please someone clarify what is going on with curation rewards and have a look for yourself on posts before you say rewards are not 3%, because 98% of them are. No wonder why users are leaving, for some reason I always thought anyone could make some good money if they put some time and effort curating but this is absolutely not the case.
