Yes. Totally agree. I also notice that my curation rewards have gone up. (Yes. I know there is more than just curation rewards, but...still.) The feed has helped. I also noticed that several people followed me, but haven't been active in awhile, so I'm not following those accounts back.
But yes, make your feed an excellent feed and you'll actually get paid for a good feed. Think about that for a second.
That's such a great point that I'll edit it in! Thanks!
