Do you understand how voting and curation work in Steemit?

On every social media, every good post with nice LTD and write up always attract the highest likes, comments and reactions from the users on the media. The better your post, the more reactions you get. On Steemit, we have what is called Voting and Curation, it’s works just like other social media. Authors, Writers and individuals with good and reasonable post that captures the eyes and mind of the reader are rewarded through a mean called vote. The user of steemit and the curator who is also part of the user but have special recommendations rewards the good contents and quality of one’s post by voting rewards which reached its payout in seven days after the post has being created.
After this post has being rewarded, it is being share between the curator and the writer of the post also known as authors. The percentage that goes to the curator is 50%, while that of the authors is also 50% making it equal in division.
This also take us to a tool called voting mana. It is the tool like an energy bar used in monitoring the steemit voting power. If it’s become 100% , your vote is declines and call also be recharged at 20%.

Note that, the more you use your voting mana, the more it becomes less influential on the system.

What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?

In my understanding and the teaching in “understanding Curation and community” by @cryptokannon in stating achievement6, after the posts/comments rewards are shares 50% between the curators and the authors, the vote before completion of 5 minutes is calculated as follows;

1. In 1 minutes, the curator gets 20%, while 80% is left in the reward pool.

2. In 2 minutes, the curator gets 40%, while 60% is left in the reward pool.

3. In 3 minutes, the curator gets 60%, while 40% is left in the reward pool.

4. In 4 minutes, the curator gets 80%, while 20% is left in the reward pool.

Judging from above, a post voted after the expiration of 5 minutes is rewarded in accordance to the above calculations.
