I'm having a WTF moment here, can anyone explain to me what happened?
So I am playing the $4.40 builder, $2 bounties + $2 prize pool + 40c rake.
So usually you would have a $2 bounty on your badge at the start, if you knock someone out, $1 goes to your bankroll and $1 goes on top of your bounty making it $3.
This is still how pokerstars explains it :
But instead of $2 our bounties are now all $1. So I figured they tried to simplify it, show you what you get so to speak. And true is Bob, you knock him out and you get $1 added to your bankroll. But then you only get 50c topped onto your own bounty. So now your bounty is $1.50, where did the other 50c go?
Are they taking 25% of the bounty prizepool as rake now? How long has this been going on?

Most Progressive KOs work like this:
50% of the buy-in goes to the prize pool
50% of the buy-in funds each player’s initial bounty
50% of the bounty is progressive, meaning that when you knock a player out you pocket half of their bounty value, with the other half added to your own bounty value.
