RE: @curie has supported you - You might want to consider a witness vote!
There are people who got 172 Curie votes? WTF? I thought Curie was about promoting new steemians with good content, not about pushing some singled out individuals into SBD heaven.... Can someone explain this?
[UPDATE]: Read answer to my question by @markangeltrueman here https://steemit.com/curie/@abh12345/curie-has-supported-you-now-it-is-your-turn#@markangeltrueman/re-multi4g-re-abh12345-curie-has-supported-you-now-it-is-your-turn-20180409t114735009z
The ones who can explain this for sure will not do it, because they will expose themselves.
See my comment.
abh12345's post backfired by being honest.

It is down to community and direct follow votes. Community votes are small upvotes cast by a number of "subcommunities" of curie that look for specific subject areas etc. Direct follow votes are votes cast by curie as a result of a top curator upvoting a post.
Both of these types of upvote are small (a few percent at most) in comparison to the normal curie vote of 20% VP or upwards, so that's why there are a number of people with a large amount of curie votes - their rewards however, will not match what you are expecting from a "big curie" vote.
The reasoning behind the direct follow upvote is to continue rewarding authors after they have received the bigger curie vote should they continue to post high quality content. The example of steemmotion having 172 curie votes - if you look at the percentage for that author, they have 0% curie votes giving them a 0.06 $ payout from curie. It's probably as a result of someone voting on another trail that curie follows at a low percentage.
You can rest assured that what you think about curie and the larger votes that it gives out is exactly the case - only upvoting new and under-rewarded posters who produce exceptional content.
Thank you for explaining that :)
I was wondering too. Thanks for your question.
Appreciate your reply. I was wondering too.
There are various aspects to curie. If you read the update being provided weekly, you will understand that curie has different communities they do support with very little percentage votes up to less than 1%. This means that one could likely get these less than i% upvotes multiple times. This is different from the major upvotes which I think you are refering to.
That's because @curie supports communities. Those are minor upvotes. For example, @curie supports @steemstem so every vote done by @steemstem will be trailed by @curie at a small fraction of its voting power. For more information, you can read one of @curie's blog and communities and sub-communities that were supported by @curie are mentioned there.
