Hehe, yeah the curation rewards aren't bringing much food to the table... yet atleast :P

I used to be very low on voting power in the beginning when there was no votescaling for low SP accounts, but figured if I keep my VP high and scale my votes more evenly to more users they get the most out of it in the long run. This also gave me room to not just vote on low payout posts but also on posts from regulars and the ones you knew would get a lot of rewards.

At first I felt a bit bad about not voting 100% on every post and some users also asked me why 40-80% but it got a lot easier when I got a following on my curation and I knew that my 50% vote now is still worth 10-100x more thanks to the following, so it equaled it out and the distribution could be wider and I was able to vote on a lot more posts while still making some curation rewards for everyone involved.
