If less people are posting, Does it means that my return on curation will be high.(number of HP received.)
Because I felt I got more Hive than steem for my same SP/HP when hive started.
Or it is just that my curation skills was increased or I am just lucky?

Less people (stake) voting is the thing that matters in this case - Less people draing on the pool. For a very simple example to show how it kind of works, without worrying about author rewards :D
Imagine there is 100 HIVE in the pool for curators and 10 voters with 10 HIVE stake each. They all vote (we aren't worrying about when they vote etc either) and they each take 10 of the HIVE from the pool. Now if 5 stop voting completely, the 5 that still vote will split the 100 between them, getting 20 each. Essentially, with half less voting stake, everyone who does vote will get twice as much.
It is kind of the same with author rewards, with more people competing for the pool, the wider, but lower the spread goes.
This is very simplified, but I hope it is enough to give you the idea of what happens.
tagging @zemiatin here too
Make sense, because not everybody started curating from the day 1 in hive.
Thanks for explaining.
No worries. I am not great with all the specifics, I just hold a general idea :)
I am curioous about this too.
