RE: Whom do you vote as your Witness & Why?
Hmm, you have got a point! We need to find out those few gems.
Regarding @xaero1, I don't know if it upvotes manually too. On my posts it's a paid-for upvote as this account sales its vote to the @smartsteem vote-selling service.
Oh I see! How much you had to pay to get upvotes from him and smartsteem? Was is profitable?
Well, can't say anything for sure, it's really a risky bet. Although @smartsteem commits a 10% RoI but it's on today's market rates. Dunno what I'll get after 7 days period ...at the time of post pay-out. It all depends on market price fluctuations ...and there is also a probability for downvotes which can wipe out partial or all of the potential payout on this post.
For record, I got this $15.05 upvote from @xaero1 by paying a sum of 15 Steem. The post was perhaps upvoted after 7 or 8 minutes of publishing. So also deduct about 6% - 6.5% of curation amount from that amount to arrive at the net amount I'll receive. Hope you can calculate it better than me.
