I don't count how many times I vote a day. I'm sure it's less than 27, though. But, I do check out the New category on a regular basis, and vote on things I feel are likely to become popular, and also on things I just plain like. If I'm voting on something I think will become popular, I DO vote in the first 30 minutes after it's posted. But, if it's something I just like on its own, and want to reward it for being awesome, I vote whenever. I get some curation rewards on a fairly consistent basis, so I must be doing something right, even if I don't go about it with a precise plan of action. I'm sure I could score more if I paid more attention to when and how often I vote.
