Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?

voting
Voting is just like "liking" or "disliking" a post as it is commonly used on other social media such as Facebook but the difference here is that you get rewards from the votes of others
On steemit, voting can either be an upvote or a downvote

Upvotes

• The green upward arrow indicates upvote and when you click on it, it means you have upvoted a post and the its noted as the circle turns green
  *upvoting a post makes it to trend or may cause other people to vote for it.
• on steemit, when a post is upvoted especially with steemians of higher SP, the platform rewards the post ( thats in SBD, steem power, trons).
• Upvoting on a post may guarantee you a small reward.

Downvotes

• the downward red arrow, indcates "downvote" or dislike
• having downvotes on your post especially from steemians with higher SP may reduce your reputation on the platform.
• You may also receive a downvote if other steemians see that the rewards on your post superced its value, thus a downvote may reduce your reward.
  *but if the upvote on your post weighs down the downvotes, it may have a negligible effect.

Voting manna
Its like a energy bar which goes down by 2 %
whenever you are voting, as your voting manner reduces, the influence of your vote reduces. This explains why thesame steemian will vote on 2 different post and they will be rewarded differently. But the platform recharges the voting manna by 20% daily.
New members can vote with 100% but as soon as you are above 500sp, you can regulate your strength of your vote on a post. The lesser your strength, the lesser your influence on the post.

CURATION
When a post is created and received its rewards from those that upvoted from it, 50% of this reward goes to the author while rest is shared to those that upvoted for on the post, this is known as curator reward. If you downvote a post, you dont recieve any reward.

What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?
The curators rewards will be distributed as follow

Vote	Effect
Immediately a post is made	0% curator rewards,100% reward stays in the reward pool
1min after a post is made	20% curator rewards, while 80% stays in the reward pool
2mins	40% curator reward, while 60% stays in the reward pool
3mins	60% curator rewards, while 40% stays in the reward pool
4mins	80% curator rewards while 20% stays in the reward pool
After 5mins	100% of the curators reward goes to the curator.

Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?
I will love to vote for @successgr.with because he always supports or upvotes on other people's post whenever he's tagged. I will also love to vote for @steemchiller, @roadofrich and @justyy for creating useful tools such as steemworld.org, steemscan.com and steemyy.com respecting. These tools or site has helped me a lot.
