My suggestion is to compare your votes to your curation rewards. If you are voting 30 times a day and getting paid for 5 - you are wasting your time. Better to spend that time postsing and commenting that voting.
This is a numbers game and the big numbers win. Voting for zero does not help you or anyone, so I advise against it.
Two things about curation rewards,
I think, for us all to succeed, we need to upvote our favorite content, not the content that will make the most money, necessarily.
If you don't make money here, you will be one of the gasping minnows. Think big!
Everything I upvote is because I think it is great and I'm not upvoting for zero to make them feel bad. Instead, I am doing everything in my power to grow my sp and be able to reward good content at a better reward. None of my upvotes lead to no reward.
I guess I feel creating good content is the way to increase SP, and upvoting other good content is the way to encourage users, and curation rewards are negligible for minnows (and they are, even the winner @miniature-tiger, earned a mere 9 SP, and he had to upvote content that he wouldn't have naturally upvoted).
Sadly, the ways to make the best money here have little to do with content, but we can only do so much. If you want to focus on curating to improve things, you should definitely check out the curation league by @abh12345. I learned a lot there that is not very intuitive.
If you're still interested in curation rewards, check out @miniature-tiger's series on how the math works! Very useful series.

It turns out, all upvotes lead to some rewards. There is no dust when it comes to curation. You're still getting vests.
