I remember the days before the recent hard fork. Back then more rewards cam from posting but after the HF rewards were split 50/50 for posting and curating. This incentivized curating and commenting much more. It was a struggle for me as I was more of a blogger than a curator, but nowadays I have slowly shifted to commenting and curating more and posting a bit less.
Since I post less nowadays, I have also begun to delegate my HP so that I can earn passive returns and income even if I'm not posting or curating daily (due to absence of wifi for example). In this way I'm spreading out my time and effort and HP in a multi-pronged approach.
