RE: Why is it important to follow and upvote small accounts? - The key to a healthy community growth.

Good and thoughtful post, thanks! I'd like to see the curation awards algorithm available for all to review. Not so that we can game the system, but so that we can have the fairest and most equitable distribution of rewards possible. It's important, that way the minnows can grow up to be dolphins. Keep up the good work.

Well I translated part of the FAQ to my native language but Im not sure that algorithm is still in use but here it goes, I am paraphrasing because I dont remember exactly:

The first 30 minutes are crucial for curating. If you upvote a post in that 30 minute window then your curation rewards won´t be as big as if you upvote it after those 30 minutes. If the post goes viral and you gave the upvote after the 30 minute window then a big % of the curatino reward will go to you.
If the post goes viral but you upvoted it 1 minute after it got posted then you wont get rewards. If the post is already viral when you upvote it, you wont get any curation rewards.

Thanks, Im glad you liked the post!
