When someone is known as a very popular author, it's a race to the bottom to upvote them before everyone else. In doing so, the curators actually end up sending most of the rewards to the author.

When is the ideal time to vote though? I heard if I vote before 5 minutes I lose most of my curation rewards.
You want to maximize the percent of the reward which comes back to you, while also maximizing how many shares vote after you. The percentage you keep increases linearly from 0 to 100% until 30 minutes after the post.
So there is no set ideal time, you have to work it out based on when everyone else is voting. Honestly I don't think anyone but orcas and whales should care about curation rewards anyway, they're trivial for small accounts.
Right. Thanks.
