Great article, @edicted.

I believe most of Steem's algorithms are totally screwed up and generally, they don't make much sense.

I get most of my votes and value between the minutes 11 and 15, where I get around 100 votes. After that, I spend 7 days waiting... to receive only 4 or 5 upvotes more.

So, the lifespan of mosts posts here is no longer than 15 minutes. It's kind of boring to work in a post, knowing that it will be so short lived.

If you ask me, I would cancel curation altogether. People should be voting for the stuff they like, regardless of how long ago the post has been published.
