RE: Dear Steemit, it does pay to vote on "hidden gems"!
Why can't I have my cake and eat it too? I look for hidden gems and vote on them which has all the positive benefits you just mentioned, and plus I might get paid for it too. The system should incentivize good behavior, and I was just pointing out that it does so in this case.
I'm not saying you cant have both, sorry if I misunderstood your post. I merely was commenting that the sole reason for upvoting shouldnt be curation rewards, but to incentivise those creating the content as well. And often, a comment can go a lot further than an upvote, so for those that only want curation rewards they can incentivise a creator to continue making good content even if there isnt much of a curation reward to be had.
