# Reduce distribution for comments, reward tip signaling and tipped posts

This proposal would represent a significant and experimental change to how contributions are reflected in the monthly $donut and $contrib distribution.

Current distribution: 5% mods, 15% to community/dev fund, 40% for posts, 40% for comments

This proposal is for the following changes:

- 30% to posts based on reddit score (reduced from 40%)
- 20% to comments based on reddit score (reduced from 40%)
- 10% to post tippers (minimum gov weight 500 to be eligible)
- 20% to posts *based-on-tips**
- treat media flaired posts like comedy posts (must be tipped within 6 hrs to stay visible)
- return total distribution to 1M/week (from 1.15M/week, increase was due to $donut LP incentives)

**based-on-tips* would be a calculation using a quadratic ranking of the tipper's governance weight *min($contrib, $donut)*. This is not a ranking based on tip amount - any tip is a signal.


The poll options will be:

- **Yes**, reduce distribution for comments, reward tippers and tipped posts, tip-curate media flair, total dist to 1M/week
- **No**
