I did some trail work a while ago but could not understand if the posts I were referring was really being voted for. That's when I discontinued and proceeded to vote on my own.
I am still looking for clarity on the selection process and what happens to posts that get picked up (does steem trail have delegated SP with which they vote)?
One more comment you should add is to curate another person's content and not reshare your own links - as a good practice :D
There is a voting trail setup with each tag/topic where there are a few people who do the actual voting, but then are followed by votes of lots of others. These 'follow' vote bots are typically setup on Streemian.com .
I'd recommend touching base with those running the individual topic/trail..since I'm sure they each have their own way of doing the voting.
Good point. :)
