I'm surprised this doesn't say 'and selections by the inhouse Curation team'. Those figures would suggest a 70% hit rate for nommers, which is kind of high, but maybe right as they have been refining their tactics to maximise their earnings.
But was the omission of direct boosts by curators a slip? Or do staff now simply check nommers' submissions, with the entire programme outsourced to the semi-amateur pub owners?
Or do those figures also include, maybe 300 by Curation, and a lower strike rate for pub editors?
