To offer a different perspective. I propose that virtually no one is chasing curation rewards. Curation rewards on this platform a fucking joke. What's most likely happened in the past is you caught some whale votes or large curation trail votes. If I curate a post you can be sure I read it and there are many others that do too, but many of the people with enough steem power to earn decent curation rewards are not earning curation rewards outside of their group of friends that vote for each other or else they just upvote their own content and comments to pay themselves to use the platform. Obviously I'm not speaking about everyone, but the odds of you getting a double digit payout doing what you suggested is slim to none and more than likely going to get your post flagged. Just my two cents.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I nolonger up vote my own post, vote for content that is content. I will also do it for those that comment on my posts. I see it as a way to promote real content. And reward those that are here for good content.
Yep, actually interacting with people is worth more.
That is why in my test post I made an obvious link to this article, to explain why I had made the post :)
This is not my normal mode of operation. I just wanted to test a theory really.
Here is my test post. Must Listen To Albums - Metallica - Master Of Puppets
My other posts were albums I actually reall like. But I noticed that on the "big" albums I would get like 5 views but 50 votes. None have earnt more than a few $ but I wanted to understand what is going on.
I am like you. I only vote on what I actually read, pointless to do otherwise.
I have seen the sort of whale in voting you speak of. A set of posts with the same 3 posts each earning the same $20ish.
