I mostly don't bother because I'd rather throw my few cents at content I consider worthy, rather than just trying to maximize my curation returns.

I've ignored the curation formula through the years.

The question in my mind is whether or not the curation formula improves curation. I think the platform suffers when people make decisions based on the formula.

I threw in jabs at the bots. The reason for this is that the bots are programmed for the formula.

The complex formula ends up transferring wealth from people who are curating to the bots ... which is not good.
