I do not understand Curation rewards at all .... I make .001 cents from Curation ... You make most from posting Original Content on your Blog and posting really good original comments that get updated.

I always post original contents. But my posts go unnoticed due to low reputation. Good to hear that you reached this far without curation. Your content must be super classic. Good I followed you.

I post original photography, artwork, updates on Crypto currency, Philosophy, etc etc ... Very Eclectic.

I think the Whales make a lot of money from Curation but I seem to only make .001 or .002 cents even when I am the 1st to upVote on a Post (after 15 minutes) that goes on to make $150 - I think you need to have $500,000 in Steem Power to make good Curation Rewards.

Very important message out of experience. Will keep this in mind. Helps me understand this platform better.
