Just a little heads up on upvotes: this community is sponsored by a curation group called OCD https://discord.gg/b2UQVzhf
They are responsible for distributing the upvotes that generate most of the rewards posts here get, as you can see by inspecting the reward details. However, they have a few rules about frequency, exclusivity, quality, originality and relevance of the posts, for example.
Agrante, thank you so much for these clarifications! Honestly, I won’t be upset if this post earns $0 what’s more important is that I managed to publish it this week 😀
I read somewhere that I can delegate my voting power to these orgs. I’m not very active here, and it seems like dedicated communities could make better use of it. Could you explain how to do this and whether it makes sense with an account valued at 100 HP?
Yes, you can delegate to OCD and they will send you Hive in return. That's probably not a bad idea. All you have to do is go to your wallet and delegate HP to @ocdb for example. There are other curation groups that also accept delegations and return rewards - Ecency, Curie, Qurator... I delegate some HP to OCD, you can check it in my wallet details (in my profile).
Another thing you can do is follow a curation trail. But with 100 HP this doesn't make sense imo. Before the pump, when Hive was less than $0.20, I calculated just under 1500 HP for a 100% vote to be worth 1 cent. That 1 cent would then be split in 2 when you upvote, half going back to you and the other half to the author.
When you do get a bit more HP, then it would make sense to follow a curation trail. Following a curation trail means that you maximize the yield from your HP via automatic votes, because then your voting mana should always stay under 100%. For this, check https://hive.vote/ . You can start following a curation trail anytime, but your rewards will be dismal, if anything at all - I'm not sure if there are minimums to receive rewards from upvotes.
