Yeah I'm a newb and I don't get any of this. The article needs to start from the beginning. What is curating in terms of Steemit? Does it just mean upvoting other peoples content? All of this is over my head.

Curating on steem is simply finding, upvoting and sometimes also helping promote/spread top quality posts. Curators can earn a share of post rewards by recognising quality posts before other people do, and upvoting them first.
The tricky part is being able to consistently do this without showing favouritism so that we end up with rewards being shared with the right people making original content (like yourself) and not to people doing copy pasting from wikipedia and identity theft.
I'm new here. less than one month. Haven't posted much yet because I'm still learning the ins and outs. I don't copy and paste content but will be posting more great content from my life's adventures like this one where I made a phony press pass and got backstage at the Stones concert. Got paid for the pictures too. https://steemit.com/photography/@internetguy/how-i-got-paid-to-sneak-backstage-and-photograph-the-rolling-stones
Keep me on your radar if you like the exclusive content. Thanks.
Copy/paste is fine if the content is good AND YOU CORRECTLY ATTRIBUTE.
Upvoting is really just a miniature version of that, all things considered.
Thanks for your reply! I have been learning as much as I can the last few days. Thanks for the clarification!
Curating means looking for good quality content to vote on.
