Thank you for your response. Yeah 1 of the main concerns is certainly people just voting on the "safe" bet with their upvote bots. So if they vote on someone who they know will just post the same stuff all the time that they know will get a big payout then they could get the best curation reward. So suddenly the payouts can end up having nothing to do with "good content." That is subjective though obviously.

I'm not a very "safe" content creator to vote on because one minute I'm doing a meme, the next minute I'm playing basketball, then I'm talking about crypto currencies.....etc People don't like it if I say that some crypto currency is going lower...etc.

I do a lot of manual curation as well. I think the situation will get easier for me when my vote becomes worth a more tangible amount. Like if my vote was worth $10 then I could spread it out even more.
