Hmm interesting I never thought about this. TBH, I struggle to follow all the intricate system "gaming" and am amazed at the people who can actually figure all this out.
Please forgive but what you are saying in basic terms is that it's financially beneficial to upvote "followers" comments on your blog post 30 minutes after they are posted while also having the bonus effect of more engagement with your followers?
Hmm..I am trying to figure out if there is a limit to how many posts you can upvote in a day, if I understood correctly your steem power goes down if you upvote too often? I would love some clarification on this, if possible @cryptoctopus Thank you!
I have heard multiple answers to this question ranging from 8-11 votes per day or not letting your voting power get under 92%.
Ah ok, where can we track our voting power?
You can track it on https://steemd.com/@********* (Stars being your username.)
Also while you are at it, you can check https://steem.makerwannabe.com
which is great for seeing who has followed/unfollowed you recently
Awesome, thank you so much for the information! I greatly appreciate it.
once you have enough SP, you get a sliding scale. For example, I upvoted you at 10% above...which sent around $1.50 instead of $15 if I voted at full power.
Curation "for profit" is a complicated game. I wouldn't advice people under 1000 SP to get into it. That way you don't waste your time and add to the confusion. Basically, it's a reverse auction. I wouldn't venture to explain it in details but I believe you can find more information in the welcome page.
More engagement is not about the 30min of curation, but simply rewarding my loyal followers.
