no I have not but I will check them out right away :) Thank you so much and I do have a couple questions lol Like, if someone upvotes their own post, do they remove the ability for others to get curation on that post? Thanks!

I can help with that. :)
The short answer is...to a degree.
Curation rewards are essentially split among ALL voters on a post, however there are many that earn less than the required minimum of 0.001 Steem (Power, technically) meaning they don't receive any reward.
For the remaining voters, the 'cut' of the 25% curation reward is split, weighted by the Steem Power of each person. Technically also the percent vote given by the slider bar as well as their vote power % which goes down as you vote. So you do deny curation rewards for the piece you would have gotten. If your Steem Power is low, the bigger voters get a MUCH larger portion which they will still receive whether you had self voted or not.
The last thing to mention is that there is a curation reward penalty percentage applied for votes cast before the post is 30 minutes old. (This was a way to incentive people to read and protection against early bots.) So you voting, the moment it's posted means you would have a 100% curation penalty. A vote at 15 minutes would have a 50% one, and at 30 minutes or more there is no penalty applied.
What's lost by this penalty is forfeited to the original author (which is you.) So the 100% curation you could have gotten is given to you. Often because of this penalty, the curators cut is between 15-20% instead of 25%.
Sorry for the wall of text. Lol. I prefer being thorough.
Don't apologize e for helping me understand! Thanks! That makes sense now :)
Thank you for the info! :)
