Well there is a threshold for Hive payouts . The particular post or comment must gather atleast 0.02$ ( all upvotes combined ) otherwised you won't get the payout ( and even the curator doesn't get his payout ) .
So say you upvoted a comment and your upvote value is 0.01$ , after 7 days it is considered as dust and you lose the 0.005$ which you were supposed to get ( 50% ) . So you have to pray that someone else comes and upvotes the same comment or post and pushes it above 0.02$ ( although there is a service provider for this - dustsweeper but they take commission ) .
That is the reason you don't see many comments being upvoted by HP holders , they don't want to waste their hive upvotes .
Whereas in LeoFinance 0.001 is the minimum , if your upvote is worth 0.002 LEO ( which takes 15 LP as of now ) you will get the curation reward .
