Hah thanks Spencer, sounds like i need to go read the help page again if you're saying i'll get curation rewards from liking other peoples content. I would not have expected it to work that way. I fear my blog may go unread but i'm open to see what happens. It's really just about meeting/networking with like minded individuals i guess.
Yes, if you upvote content early on and it becomes popular then you will receive a reward for noticing that popular post before everyone else. Generally, it is best to upvote about a half hour after the post is created for maximum curation rewards.
