| Sep 3, 2020 at 6:40 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I will add to @TimCampion's comment that my point was mainly that users with enough questions suddenly had more reputation available for bounties. (I probably wasn't clear enough in the above comments. I tried to explain myself a bit better in the MO chatroom. | |
| Sep 1, 2020 at 16:09 | comment | added | Tim Campion | @MartinSleziak I had the impression that when the question value was changed, stack exchange recalculated all reputation totals including historical ones. So that if you now look at, say, the top reputation-getters of 2017, what you're seeing is what the reputation totals would have been, had the question upvote always been 10 rep. So I wouldn't think this change would lead to wonky reports of reputation changes, since those would all be calculated based on the fiction that question upvotes were always worth 10 rep. | |

| Aug 24, 2020 at 7:55 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Maybe it is also worth mentioning that reputation for questions was changed from +5 to +10 in November 2019. That meant that many users gathered a lot of reputation suddenly - and if they thought they don't need that much reputation, they might have used it for bounties. It seems that there was some increase to the amount of bounties around beginning of 2020. | |
