There are some pretty smart guys on steemit that upvote the least amount possible right at the 29 minute mark. It gives them a nice curation reward and makes your rewards less. We call them reward snipers!

But I think that only works if a post doesn't have to many upvotes already. Cause if a post already has many upvotes those cause that the curation goes to previous upvoters and the author.
