Thanks, I do appreciate when people are honest like you. I know that many come to my posts because they know I will upvote a lot of comments. I think that is the least I can do since Steemit works that way and I find it sad when authors don't interact with their readers. However, I DO select the good (upvote and reply) from the bad (ignore and sometimes lecture) and the ugly (downvote).
Just one criticism: You should probably read/watch my content first before you upvote. You probably don't like it and just upvoting my stuff because you think it MIGHT be good is just a waste of your voting power in cases where you might disagree with me. ;)
I have the power to "remove my vote" and I'm not afraid to use it! lol
When I joined Steem you where one of the 1st people I noticed. With every video I LEARN something rather I "agree or disagree" is irrelevant to me.
I come here to learn, as long as you continue to teach, you will have my upvote. 👊
Well said! That possibility is always given and should be taken use of when required. However, you will loose the voting power and hence you can upvote less that day and you will have a small opportunity cost.
On the other hand with your strategy you are more likely to receive higher curation rewards because you upvote earlier. So there are two sides to the coin. :)
As an upvoter dont you make max curation money right after 30 minutes or have i understood that wrong?
Yes, before 30 minutes you get technically less curation rewards but even that depends on how much upvotes follow later. I can be still very profitable to upvote a mega post at 15 minutes or so because many others might do so between 15-30 minutes. It is complicated and confusing.
If I am understanding this correctly you are correct.

[Even tho I’m using delegated steem power. Thanks to @motoengineer!] I usually wait to upvote my comment to see if it gets a comment or if anyone else will upvote it first. To give back.
Other times if there are a lot of comments but I think mine is somehow relevant (a bit egotistical maybe) I’ll upvote it right after I post it. Reason is: I’ve noticed that comments with more upvotes get sorted to the top (I think it’s a setting but I haven’t really looked into it. 😇)
General comment @flauwy: Thank you for more informational and interaction-inducing posts!
I think your strategy is aboslutely fine and justified!
