Lol as a regular user I have noticed that when one curator upvotes you, generally the others do not.
Most “curators” on hive act like e-thugs fighting over territory. It’s like one one screams ”those are my DSL” and the other screams “DONT COCKBLOCK ME” and they're both trying to ram the tonsils until their tips touch.
I personally prefer 200 upvotes for $0.30 rather than 12 for $15. Success can’t be measured in quantity of payout if nobody is really reading it and is following a flawed rubric that determines if the blogger is a real person or not. Besides all that a real blogger doesn’t give a shit how much he makes.
I can attest that Marky votes whether another curator votes you or not.
I think the bigger issue is that people are taking advantage of Venezuelans and using them to generate curation rewards while giving them a payout of $0.50 because they know they can keep them coming back by threatening to take that vote away. Kicking the scared and hungry person is cool nowadays. It's like Hive's version of bum fights.
Well played, Stalin.

Opportunistic as fuck and a shitty way to conduct “business.”
