This is the best article I read on HF. What I noticed is that my posts since the change have more views now, more upvotes, but total rewards are less. This is the result of 1% votes that people now give in fear of depletion of their VP and keep the 100% votes for themselves. I understand that very well, because my own VP depleted to 12% the first day...
Is this good, or bad for the platform only time can tell... I noticed that rewards also leveled good content with copy paste content...
Just my two cents for the discuision.
RE: Which came first, the Engagement or the Reward?
