"I guess I really need to see the impact of HF21 before I can really make up my mind. The first few weeks after won’t be a good indicator either. We will really need to see things settle down, see how bid bots adjust their model and see what SP remains activate and in what way."
Honestly speaking, I have no idea.
I have never really cared about curation rewards, the %-amount or how many times I vote per 24 hours. I've been throwing around upvotes at random, whenever I've felt like it... And I've obviously realized that it's a "waste of power" and that I haven't been able to maximize the amount of curation rewards I earn by doing this...
The simple answer for this is that I like to reward others. I've always focused on my own audience first, and other authors secondly. So, whenever someone has written a comment on my articles, I've been rewarding them and replied to the comments. That was my goal from the moment I got here. Lately though, I've started to change my approach a little bit. On top of these things, I also use steemauto, just so I never miss to reward any of the authors I'm a fan of.
That being said, I have also heard about people earning a really good amount of curation rewards, even while they have less SP than me, so I am interested in finding the "right way" for that... But I don't know if that is something I will strictly follow after HF21 or not. I'll just have to wait and see, and I look forward to an article from you where I can see what your decision is. :)
I do look on @abh12345 league at the financial curation side, some people do very well. But I read cos I enjoy it, not to earn from it so curation rewards didn't mean much to me either. It be 6-7 weeks before I really make any decisions

I will probably wait until either you or Asher shares an article about this before I make any changes. In case I don't realize that something is truly messed up before that. In that case, I'll probably just change some minor things. I don't mind waiting for valuable insight from any of you guys.
Hahaha, I'll be waiting for the exact same thing.
P.S.: Good to bump into you again, @hitmeasap. It has been a while :0)
Haha yeah, it seems like it's literally the best thing I can do at this point. :D
Good to bump into you again, it sure has been a while. :)
I note your consideration of seeking greater financial returns from your voting will potentially change who you vote for. This is exactly what I refer to when I point out that curation rewards encourage the opposite of curation, profiteering, and why I also have never paid them any mind. The idea behind curation rewards I read in the Steem White Paper was to encourage people to vote for good content.
You and I do that without regard to curation rewards. Doubling curation rewards means that folks that do that instead of seeking the greatest financial reward from casting upvotes will be penalized twice as much as before for actually curating what we feel is the right content to upvote.
I reckon that's a terrible loss to society. Might as well just hack up a bot to maximize curation rewards without any regard to content or author quality at all. It's not really curation rewards. It's just votemining for Steem.
