Do you understand how voting and curation works in steemit?

Curation on the steem platform refers to the reading, sharing of good quality post that adds to a community and then voting (upvoting) the post as reward to the author.

In curation, there is something called curation reward that is to say the person who curates a post also gets rewarded for upvoting quality content and post.

When voting, we make use of the voting mana that reduces with each vote made, but the good thing is that it automatically replenishes itself everyday.

Yes, I do understand how voting and curation works.

What happens if you vote a post 5 minutes marks after posting?

The curator reward is calculated linearly and based on time frame, if myself or any user votes on a post 5 minutes after posting the entirety of the curator reward is received and nothing is left in the reward pool.

Time	Curator Reward	Reward in pool
Moment of posting	0%	100%
At 1 minute	20%	80%
At 2 minutes	40%	60%
At 3 minutes	60%	40%
At 4 minutes	80%	20%
At 5 minutes or more	100%	0%

The above information is gotten from the lecture

Who will you vote for Steem witness and why?

Honestly, I would vote as many Steem witnesses as I can because they keep the blockchain functioning properly and effectively, creating blocks and verifying it. So the voting is like commending and appreciating them for their good work.

Which community will you join in steemit and why?

There are a lot of communities on the Steem blockchain and I have joined a lot based on the post I want to make as various communities have different rules on what is to be posted. Currently I am a member of the World of Xpilar community and I really appreciate and love that community as I can express myself through creativity, photos. There are a lot of contest there that I enjoy that continuously helps me express myself.

Conclusion

I am really grateful to the newcomers community for all the lectures and task that has aided my steemit journey. Thanks to @cryptokannon for this lecture.

Thanks for reading through.
