Thanks for bringing up the importance of curation rewards... Unfortunately, you are right that many Hivians have no idea that they can earn rewards by upvoting with their HivePower... IMO, manual curation, with personal HivePower is key for longevity and HIVE's survival... Without that, HIVE will become more and more centralized, and nobody wants to see a centralized social network...

if only we could figure out a good way to reward proven manual votes more than effortless autovotes/trails/bots.
The first step was to ban bots from Spliterlands... the next step was to ban them from HIVE... 😂
Unfortunately, I think that we don't have a consensus about this among those with the biggest stake... But, who knows... maybe one day...
it's just hard if not impossible to prove manual from auto/bots and potential AI tools in the near future
Absolutely! I don't get this. Manual curation is generally less time consuming than writing a decent post, and after a while (a certain HP), curation rewards become more relevant than author rewards anyway. So, it's just a matter of looking in perspective. Both for the benefit of Hive and yourself. Of course, that doesn't mean to not write any content anymore. If everyone would do that, there wouldn't be anything (worthy) to curate.
I get the point of a small upvote when you are a newbie, but I suppose we (older Hivians) have to show by example how important is to upvote and support fellow authors... It's not about the monetary value... It is about respect and appreciation, + the benefits of showing that... That's the way how to earn respect!
I know it's difficult at first, when next to a newcomer's vote there's no value (or it says zero) and older Hivers have at least some cents to spread around even with a split vote. But I've seen people who understand how this works and do what it takes, and people who will give up no matter how much you encourage them. Showing respect among fellow community members is important. As is helping new arrivals, especially if they ask (not everyone wants help). But without getting involved and taking small steps yourself, the community can't make them for you.
Agree... You can bring a horse to the water, but not make him drink... In conclusion, we have to do posts like this one that you did, for those who will listen... 😃
