That's a really good idea. I haven't tried that. I might have to give it a shot. It's not hard to do manually. It's easier to do automatically, but harder to be successful. My understanding of curation is that the first 10 spots get the most curation on a decreasing logarithmic scale. After 10, there's not much curation reward given out. I normally don't vote on posts just to get curation, but I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the hint!
I've seen that too, but I'm not sure if it is the most up to date. Of course, you could select to upvote only those that are over 15 minutes and less than 10 votes and see how that works out.
