Wow what a detailed guide! I wish I had this when I jump on steem last year. :)
Btw, Yes, Curie curator get the fee for post they find (it's called finder's fee)
But c-squared is pure voluntary, it's a home for every curator/curation activities in steem blockchain. :)
I wish I had it too man haha! But hopefully if new people join and read these guides then they will be able to understand the power of Steem and keep at it!
Thanks for the input on c-squared and curie and clarifying the differences, I'll upvote your comment so it rises to the top and add to the information on this one 🙂
