In 2023 Hive blockchain distributed total of $6,344,255 in content rewards. This is significantly lower than previous years. In 2023 this number was $10,750,433.
Which year is which amount? 😄
Discrepancies between author and curation has to do with beneficiaries (including to @null and @hive.fund) that only apply to author rewards and the spread between the internal price feed and market price of HIVE/HBD. Downvotes reduces curation reward for all upvotes in the post.
