I deal with a lot of redfish and do a ton of supporting of them in different ways. One way is to help introduce ways they can increase their earning potential.
So my question is about your statement of "but their upvotes are worth more than your investment) . "
Does that mean you are saying the upvotes will total more then 0.50 in displayed vote value (which is a money looser) or that people will clear more then the fiat value of 0.50 SBD in total between SP & SBD earned from the votes after curation is taken out?
If it's truly profitable then I would be happy to share it in my discord room and with those I'm trying to help grow here on steemit.
