RE: Curating, Bid-Bot Behaviour, Circle Jerks and True Stories.
It is difficult to get in on the action before all the auto votes appear on a popular author. So I don't bother and try to spread my vote to new people as much as possible. I am glad to hear that there are those who like to roll the dice on undiscovered gems.
The voting circles are a worrying development in the demise of the bidbots and I am glad too that I ain't the only one seeing it.
Earning more Steem is one thing but making it something others will value will require those circle jerkers nurturing the rest of the community and not just relying on curation teams to make content creators feel like they won the lotto.
I still auto-vote some of the popular authors but then I have know them over a year and trust them not to write crap or abuse the system.
You can get more curation rewards by finding these gems, they are not too hard to find if you know how and where too look.
It is more time consuming though, and that limits how much I can do.
