I certainly agree about curie. It is just feel rewarding though when one day you suddenly receive a significantly "huge" steem as compared to just pennies of payout on posts (at least in my case). Steemhunt still did much better for my case. Though for your case, you have to work on building your hunter score first because even if your hunt gets into the 100 ranking for the day, you won't get the steemhunt vote if you're still below level 1.
