I find that I make almost as much money upvoting other people's posts as I do upvoting my own. If you're the biggest fish upvoting a particular post, you usually end up with the lion's share of the curation rewards.
The great thing about Steemit is that you can actually help others while you help yourself.
Hi @talanhorne, I agree with you that curation is the best way to help others at the same time gaining the reward share. Are you sure you are earning the same curating as you would by self voting? Thanks
Now this might be why people don't like self voters. If they are the giant and they self vote. Then they take the lions share. The others who vote then don't get as much as normally so it almost penalizes your supporters. Interesting. Very Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Completely agree. you can help everyone out on steem.
Yes, that analysis needs to be done to compare to this one. Find someone who votes for only a few of their own posts and mostly on other posts and see what that says. This post only checked one option of many ways to slice and dice your votes.
