RE: Let's be evil for a minute
Hi @thedarkhorse, do not get me wrong please. I highly appreciate what you and others from @abh12345's League 2 are doing including people like @davemccoy and @tcpolymath.
As a novice developer, I spent most of my time learning about STEEM or developing and maintaining projects I already developed. From development posts on #utopian-io, I can learn a thing or two, thats why I check those posts regularly. But that doesn't mean I do not vote for others, I run a small trail as @bdcommunity for Bangladeshi authors who produces good contents, also work as a support and developer for @steemitbd, another Bangladeshi support platform which educates new users and supports quality content creators.
Again not saying what I am doing is right. Many introverts like myself may not comment and engage in conversations on a regular basis but can find other ways to support the community. I hope you'll understand.
I completely 100% support both of your approaches. Each one is appropriately tailored to your own skills and goals.
So diplomatic....and correct.
This is really the comment I was addressing and hope it didn't come off wrong. There are just so many newbies running around soaking up information and they read a comment like that and think, I will only vote for XXX and that will make me the most money. Yes this happens all the time, you should see some of the discord messages I get.
It's just SO hard to earn anything on curation and actually the larger authors like utopian have so many followers and 0-5 minute votes that you aren't earning as much as you might be able to on lessor known authors. They never pay anywhere near 25% curation on those posts. Just take a minute and look at that one day.
If your looking for curation earnings you could consider a 15 minute vote give or take on my contest. It tends to pull in a couple pretty good votes after the 15 minute mark so I wouldn't go to much past that. Then check your earnings to see if it was beneficial. Who knows maybe you find a way to earn more and support newbies ;)
I will be posting the winner post tonight at 12:01am my time (Chicago) if you want to see what the curation earnings would be. I have been propping up these posts with a single $5-6 vote that comes in after 30 minutes so that alone boosts the curation.
Also sounds like you have a lot you are in the middle of, know the feeling. Best of luck to you either way and sure I see you around. Oh and don't be shy...it's the internet nobody can bite you here. Lots of great people who want to see each other succeed so find them and stick with them. Their support goes a long way.
I was emphasizing on the word
mostlyin my first comment. I am sorry for giving off a negative vibe. I know you are topping the Asher's engagement league, you can find me on the League 1 there (not in the last one though). I earn curation by voting development contributions I like and believe can get a high value upvote from @utopian-io, which enables me to learn and earn at the same time.Actually my projects take so much of my time that I have very little to explore good contents. But I get help from some friends who find those contents and we upvote. Hopefully one day we will be able to give bigger upvotes as we grow bigger.
Thats just me but it is changing. I am trying to engage more and more.
