RE: Author Rewards vs. Curation Rewards
I think what I miss the most are those orcas and whales who would occasionally throw out some nice meaty upvotes on comments. It was always a welcome surprise. With so much competition on individual posts for curation rewards, it was nice to have something that was all my own.
It did get insane sometimes. I remember getting $20 for a comment once.
The all time record is nearly $3K.
Something not quite right about that though!
That is a little extreme, but if I had been on the receiving end, I probably wouldn't be complaining!
I got $80 once on a comment contest and I was very, very excited about it!
That is awesome!
Same, I subbed to a lot of whales on Gina just to farm the upvotes every day. Made a lot of pocket change from that just by interacting a little. Then I disappeared, and when I came back it was no longer a viable business. Sad!
Yeah, I know, it is pretty sad that has went away. It was smart business though. You find someone with a lot of SP, read their stuff, form a bond and maybe just maybe they reciprocate a little.
Exactly, also had to measure the generosity. Some were extremely generous, while others upvoted like 1 comment or none, so you know where to head lol. I still see some people who upvote most of their comments but they're small like 0.05. Haven't seen the 0.1+ regular votes lately. I could check, maybe there are still a couple people who stayed doing that despite the incentive to change tactics.
