The expected total votes is now worth $475. I get 75% of that, and the rest (about $120), is shared by the people who voted for my blog. There were literally 100s of voters, so that $120 has to be shared, based on a complex formula of timing of votes, subsequent votes and amount voted.

When I started steemit I was not finding it funny when I saw part of my earnings where been shared as curators reward. I later as the reason while I aim but my money is not complete but @mickyscofield explained better to my understanding, thanks for sharing I think this one will help the newbies, thank you @swissclive for sharing this wonderful information to us.
