You can read the whitepaper that I link to in the bottom of the post, but the short answer is those are not "real" Curie votes. They are not votes coming from a post submitted by Curie curator and reviewed by Curie reviewer. Curie supports many "sub-communities", interest or regional specific communities of curators (e.g. #steemstem is one famous sub-community that Curie supports). The @curie vote trails behind the sub-community curation team's vote at a reduced %. When you see an author receiving a number of small Curie votes regularly, they are receiving support from one of those sub-communities. Often you can tell which one by checking the tags, e.g. #steemstem tag and small Curie vote indicates support from SteemStem community, #nigeria tag would indicate support from the Nigerian sub-community, etc. These sub-communities are independent operations, Curie is supporting their curation efforts but is not directly responsible for them.

Oh ok, I guess it's the subcommunity then. I think it was indeed a steemstem tagged post. Thanks for the info.

Do u have a list of subcommunities?

Yes the list of sub-communities and sub-community leaders is published every Sunday on the @curie blog's Weekly Update.

Oh i see. Ok thanks.
