I was really thinking more along the lines of when people on Tumblr reblog posts, and start a reblog chain, so the post winds up becoming a whole other beast compared to the original post.

Though... I didn't realize people get paid for upvoting? XD I'll be honest, I don't totally understand all of the economics of this site lol. I haven't put my two cents on the possibility of getting rid of Steem Dollars for this reason. xD

I was aware that people get paid when you upvote your post, and every time you upvote your vote becomes a little less valuable. I guess that explains what it's talking about when it says x amount has been paid to Authors and y amount has been paid to Curators.
