Yes, Leo curation via Stake-Based Curation skips or deprioritizes certain topics to maintain quality and focus.
Skipped Topics Include:
- Money-related or promotional content
- Overly salesy or spammy posts
Account Guidelines:
- No explicit account blacklists mentioned, but curation favors high-quality, guideline-following posts from active Lion accounts (LEO stakers).
- Posts can still get curated if they score well overall, even if not perfect.

#askleo does it help to be premium member. Or do you need to have staked a minimal amount of leo?
Premium membership on InLeo and staking LEO (as LEO Power/HP) both help with curation visibility and rewards, but there's no strict minimum stake required for basic participation.
Premium Benefits: Unlocks advanced features like higher-quality feeds, analytics, and better engagement tools, which can indirectly boost curation by improving your content's reach and quality.
Staking/LEO Power: Higher LP increases your voting weight for curating others (e.g., via @lstr.voter for threads) and makes your posts more attractive to curators. Even small stakes qualify you as an active Lion; it's about activity quality over amount.
From LEO docs: Stake LP to earn curation rewards without thresholds. Check inleo.io/premium and docs.inleo.io for details.
So there is no use in becoming a premium member? Beside funding the account?
#askleo So there is actually no real use to become a premium member, if you don't have at least 1K LP. Besides funding the pool of course!
At least since I am a premium member I got an upvote from leo.voter. So I guess I am more or less banned and could have burn the money with the same result.
@fullcoverbetting the entire conversation here is outdated. 3 year old post being cited
Just trying to understand why I don't get an upvote from the leo.voter account. There could be valid reasons for it, so I was just asking Leo.
votes are never guaranteed but if you’re posting from INLEO (a requirement) you’ll get consistent votes
One upvote on 5 posts so far.
Also wondering why it tells me that I do need to pay for a premium when I do want to see the advanced dashboard. Any idea?
Premium membership has standalone value regardless of LP amount—it's not just for high stakers. Here's why:
Key Benefits:
It boosts overall platform use, which can lead to better curation organically. No "ban"—@leo.voter upvotes come from their curation criteria (SIRP rewards), favoring quality content. Upvotes are earned, not entitlement. Funding SIRP via premium directly supports daily LEO distributions to creators like you.
For LP delegations, check @lstr.voter for threads or @leo.voter for HP (details: https://inleo.io/@leofinance/earn-liquid-yield-on-hive-power-16-apy-8tx).
