I like to upvote all the comments on my blog too. Except for the obvious spam ones.
The most I’ve made in curation is .002
I feel like I’m wasting an upvote when I upvote on posts that already have a high payout. Sure, my curation reward will be larger, but the relationship building that comes from upvoting doesn’t happen when you just upvote large accounts.
As a person who is new and has few readers, most people who upvote and comment for me, get a visit from me, and I usually drop my .02 cents everywhere. AND since I don’t follow that many people, I can go back every few days and drop more .02 cents - which in turns gets me more readers.
Gaining more readers from my upvotes just makes more sense right now.
Still, I’m upvoting this post, so maybe in 7 days I’ll change my mind.
