RE: Earn STEEM by Upvoting [How Curation Rewards Work on Steemit]
If you are looking to maximize your curation rewards, it is best to upvote after the 30 minute mark
This recommendation is not correct.
The early curators do surrender part of the reward to author endeed.
On the other hand latecomers do surrender part of the reward to early curators )
So it's always a lottery.
Hi @svamiva, this rule of thumb is more intended to clarify the percentage differences between voting before the 30min mark vs. voting after the 30min mark. The actual calculations for curation rewards depending on when you upvoted in respect to other upvotes, how much the ultimate payout is, your upvote strength, and several other factors are of course a much more complex consideration.
