RE: @tipU Curation Project Update #2: Guidelines and Many Small Upgrades
I would have thought self curating with @tipu would have been blocked or at least frowned upon - I would like to think most curators using it are able to restrain themselves about that.
I have successfully made a few votes so far - but I have a dilemma. My heart wants to support the people getting very few votes, boosting them extra then my own vote allows. But my head says I need to keep in mind the authors that always get big rewards, and then use it early on to get the best curation return. The problem is so many people are doing this now - the same authors are just getting bigger and higher rewarded posts because everyone is chasing the same curation goal.

Yep, this is probably a dilemma of everyone who has some more STEEM POWER. I suggest balancing those two :)
Thank you, I agree it is a bit of a quandary and I suppose balancing between unappreciated content and what you know will get big rewards is the only way forward. I presume @tipu needs a good curation return to keep running - so getting a good dose of those posts that will end up getting very high rewards is a necessary evil.

Sometimes you can find a underappreciated post that will get big reward afterwards :)
At first, I thought the same thing. But but then I thought that @tipu is not a charity.. I came to the conclusion that is all about numbers and there is a balance to be maintained between quality and rewards.
Yes, I agree it does seem the best option is balancing between using the curation vote to support smaller under appreciated accounts and grabbing a few posts that you know will get high rewards early to pull back some good curation return for @tipu.

You perfectly understand what I meant... which is what I’m doing, with good results. ;-)
I know what you mean, when I saw this I thought that most people are only waiting for the reward for curation, I usually use the votes to value the good work of those authors who are being abandoned, who get few votes, I am not interested in being at level 10 on tipu, this is about newsteem, we can not be so greedy and think only of ourselves, it is not about being a charity or giving away votes, nor that we can not vote to our friends and acquaintances, it is about maintaining a balance and take advantage of opportunities correctly.
But not everyone has that same thought, which is why we need not only measures in terms of content, but also for the curator.
I think we do share the same mind set, Steem as a blockchain has always been to me about supporting and helping accounts grow.

Isn't that one of the reasons some people use for downvoting is that some posts are getting too much upvotes/$$$? More or less "leveling the playing field". My hats off to the good curators who can go through all these posts to find those gems.
How can one be a curator? I can not find it back?
